Rahim Cummings, 31, was shot and killed on August 12, 2016, at a shopping center on Capital Boulevard in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was taken to WakeMed after the shooting at about 6:20 p.m. but succumbed to his injuries.

Two suspects were arrested and charged with murder: Javorie Ammon Thompson, 18, of Durham, and Zyreek Avery Braxton, 17, of Nashville. During a court appearance Rahim’s wife, Canei Cummings, had an emotional outburst and described him as a dedicated family man who worked to provide for his family. A vigil was held in Durham where family and friends gathered to remember him and call for an end to violence. Prosecutors have not provided a motive and the investigation is ongoing. Rahim is survived by his wife and two sons.
