Torry Trueluck was 16 and from Durham, North Carolina, when he was shot and killed near the intersection of Liberty and Elizabeth Streets about 10:30 p.m. on November 15, 2017. A standout basketball player, he was a captain of the Durham Bullz All-Starz travel team and had been invited to practice with the Duke basketball team that summer.

Torry’s mother, Arvestella Trueluck, said gang members attempted to recruit him and, when he refused, they shot and killed him. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open. The community has mourned him: teammates retired his jersey number, and the Salvation Army gym where he spent time has become a place of remembrance. Coach Andre Jones and teammates remember him as an energetic leader who brought the team together.

If anyone knew Torry, saw activity near Liberty and Elizabeth Streets that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
