Larry Donnell Owens, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on September 12, 2016, in Durham, North Carolina. The shooting took place shortly after 7 p.m. near the intersection of East Main Street and Elm Street. Officers who arrived found Owens lying on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

After a lengthy investigation, Durham police announced murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges in August 2019 against two 24-year-old men, Brandon Patterson and Eric Holland. Holland was already incarcerated in the Forsyth County Jail on a federal detainer when the indictments were returned; authorities said Patterson was at large at the time and urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward. Patterson was later taken into custody in August 2019. Owens’ mother, Joyce Jones, made a public plea for justice during the investigation.

If anyone knew Larry, saw activity near East Main and Elm on September 12, 2016, or has information about the case, please share what you know with investigators.
