Ricky Lynn Yates, 45, of Durham, North Carolina, was found outside a gas station in the 100 block of East Cornwallis Road on December 2, 2018, having suffered a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Initial reports list his death as a shooting; no suspects were identified at the scene.

Durham police later charged two people in connection with the killing: Rashawn Deleon, 21, and Antonio Johnson, 19. Deleon was already in custody when warrants were issued; Johnson remained at large until his arrest in April 2019.
