Brandon Taylor Winston, a 20-year-old African American man, was shot in Durham, North Carolina, on March 18, 2017. Officers responded to a report of a shooting shortly before 6:45 p.m. in the 3600 block of Guess Road. Winston was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a local hospital, and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators noted Winston had been identified as a suspect in a February 2017 breaking and entering on Hunt Road in Orange County after a piece of latex glove from that scene was matched to his DNA by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory. Despite that connection, no arrests have been made and Durham police have not identified or charged any suspects in the shooting. The homicide investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about the shooting on Guess Road or events leading up to it, please come forward to assist investigators.
