James Edward Legg, 30, of Durham, North Carolina, was shot and killed in the early morning of May 13, 2017. The shooting occurred around 2:15 a.m. in the 900 block of West Main Street, near Brightleaf Square, and Legg was found lying on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound. Reports say the incident was suggested to have stemmed from an altercation, though the circumstances leading to the shooting were initially unclear.

Durham Police arrested 27-year-old Ethan John Booker of Durham in connection with the fatal shooting; Booker turned himself in on May 25, 2017. He was charged with voluntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and discharging a firearm within the city limits, and was released after posting a $50,000 bond.

The victim’s mother, Darlene Andoh, spoke about the family’s grief and the impact on Legg’s five-year-old son, and questioned how a convicted felon could have a firearm and why the bond was set at $50,000. Does anyone have information about that night or knew James Legg?
