Haywood Jabbar Downey, 34, was killed on August 23, 2014, in Durham, North Carolina. According to reports, multiple shots were fired into the SUV he was driving near North Duke Street and Horton Road early that morning. After being struck, Downey’s vehicle collided with a Toyota sedan; the Toyota then crashed into and broke a power pole and Downey’s SUV came to rest in a yard against a tree. Downey was pronounced dead at the scene, having been shot at least once.

The Toyota’s driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a local hospital, and crews worked to restore power after the downed pole. No arrests have been announced and the case remains under investigation. Downey had a documented history of repeated violent attacks on women and was described as a habitual felon in discussions after his death.

Is anyone in the Durham area able to share information that might help investigators?
