Carl Suitt Jr. was 27 when he was shot and killed in the early morning of June 30, 2017, in Durham, North Carolina. Officers found him with gunshot wounds on Dayton Street in the McDougald Terrace neighborhood; he was pronounced dead at the scene. McDougald Terrace is described as an area long troubled by frequent shootings, and residents said Suitt Jr.’s death was another reminder of that violence.

Neighbors reported hearing gunshots; one resident, Andrea Harris, said she did not investigate because she feared for her safety. Police have not announced any arrests in the case and investigators say fear of retaliation and a lack of cooperation from residents have hampered the inquiry. Durham police have been holding community outreach events such as weekly lunches in an effort to encourage tips.

The case remains unsolved. If anyone knew Carl Suitt Jr., saw activity on Dayton Street that morning, or has information that could help, please share what is known.
