Justin Royster was 27 when he was shot and killed in Durham, North Carolina, on May 3, 2018. The shooting occurred about 11:15 p.m. in the 400 block of Canal Street. Another man was injured in the incident but survived with non-life-threatening wounds.

Durham police identified 28-year-old Donnelle Wilkerson as a suspect and charged him with Royster’s murder. Wilkerson remained at large. Investigators reported prior disagreements between Royster and Wilkerson, and an argument over a girl was cited as a possible catalyst. Justin’s mother, Denise Ray, has spoken publicly about her loss and urged the suspect to come forward. Family, friends, and the community held vigils and events in the year after his death, and the police are offering cash rewards for information leading to an arrest.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or Wilkerson’s whereabouts, can you share what you know with Durham police?
