Arthur Holeman Taylor Jr., 37, was shot and killed on July 12, 2015, in Durham, North Carolina. He was found lying in a driveway on the 1400 block of Maplewood Drive, shot multiple times, and was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. A second victim, 25-year-old Timothy Wade Samuel, was also shot and survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

Friends and investigators said both men were believed to be victims of an ongoing dispute. Taylor, a longtime dirt bike rider who campaigned against gun violence under the motto Bikes up, guns down, had worked to steer young people toward alternatives to gang activity. Friends suggested the shooting might be related to conflicts with a group of men who rode dirt bikes in the area. No arrests or suspects have been publicly reported and the Durham police investigation remains open.

Did anyone in the Durham area know Arthur, his work with youth, or have information that could help the investigation?
