Diquane Breon McLamb was 20 when he was fatally shot on July 27, 2016, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. He was in the driver’s seat of a car outside the Discount Tobacco store on South Reilly Road at about 4:20 a.m. when an unknown suspect approached and opened fire. McLamb was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators determined the killing was retaliatory. McLamb had been involved in an earlier shooting that injured an acquaintance of 20-year-old Jamarqus Hurley. Police identified Hurley as the primary suspect; he was charged with first-degree murder and surrendered to authorities. The weapon used had been reported stolen in June 2016.

Family and friends remembered McLamb as respectful and well mannered, and the community urged an end to retaliatory violence. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please share it with investigators.
