Reubin Irvin, a 31-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed in the early hours of July 30, 2018, on Harnett Street in Wilmington, North Carolina. Wilmington Police believe victims and suspects in the summer 2018 shootings knew one another and were targeted for specific reasons, and they do not consider the violence to have been random or a threat to the general public.

No arrests have been announced in Irvin’s killing and the investigation remains open. His death was one of three unsolved Wilmington homicides that summer alongside Darrell Atkinson, 47, and Quashon McRae, 25; two of the three men had gang ties and all three had criminal histories. Attempts to contact family members were unsuccessful, though social media tributes reflect that loved ones remember them.

Anyone with information that could help resolve Reubin Irvin’s murder is asked to come forward.
