Dewayne Greer Jr., an 18-year-old African American male, and his father, Dewayne Greer Sr., were found shot to death in their Durham, North Carolina home on Angier Avenue on June 10, 2016. Police responded to what was reported as a cardiac arrest call and discovered both men had sustained gunshot wounds. Dewayne Jr. had been shot in the back of the head; his father was shot three times in the head.

Investigators later determined the killings were carried out as a murder-for-hire. Douglas Jones was arrested more than a year after the murders and initially charged with first-degree murder; he later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 20 to 25 year prison sentence. The motive described in reports links the plot to Greer Sr.’s employment at a roofing company and his employer’s concern that he might expose asbestos-related practices.

The family has said they remain devastated by the loss. If anyone knew the Greers or has information about how events unfolded around June 10, 2016, please share what you know.
