Santonio Rodriguez Rochelle, 33, was shot and killed in the early morning of November 7, 2015, on Hope Valley Road in Durham, North Carolina. Officers responded about 4:15 a.m. after calls about gunfire; evidence of a shooting was found at the scene but the victim was not there. Rochelle was later taken to a local hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Durham police opened an investigation but released no details about suspects or motive, and no immediate arrests were announced. Authorities said the case faced challenges due to a lack of witnesses and concrete leads; CrimeStoppers offered cash rewards for tips that could lead to arrests in felony cases. Rochelle’s family and friends continue to seek answers and justice.
