Eric Ray, a 33-year-old African American man from Durham, North Carolina, was shot to death while walking home in the 3700 block of Angier Avenue on October 20, 2016. The killing stunned his family and neighborhood.

Investigators arrested four people described as friends of the victim. Terrance Cradle, 25, William Marrow, 36, and Andre Hilliard, 42, were charged with first-degree murder and held without bond at the Durham County Detention Facility. A fourth suspect, 25-year-old Keith Laney, is serving time in the North Carolina Department of Corrections on unrelated charges and is expected to be formally charged later.

Eric’s sister, Francine Ray, said her brother was working to better himself by holding a job and attending school. The family said the arrests brought some comfort knowing the people accused would no longer be able to harm others.

Did anyone in the Durham area see Eric on Angier Avenue that night or have information about his movements beforehand?
