Simeka Andrea Daughtridge, 29, was found with a gunshot wound at her home at 1100 Spruce Street in Durham, North Carolina, on October 30, 2011. She was taken to Duke University Hospital, where she later died. Durham police initially described the circumstances as suspicious and did not immediately classify the death as a homicide.

Simeka’s husband, Travis Lamont Daughtridge, 25, was arrested and charged with her murder on December 7, 2011. Travis told investigators Simeka shot herself; investigators found evidence that did not support that account. Neighbors of the incident include testimony that Simeka and Travis had been arguing in the bedroom, and Simeka’s children—who were in the house—heard a gunshot and saw Travis run from the room claiming Simeka had shot herself. A medical examiner’s testimony determined Simeka’s death was a homicide.

Anyone with information about Simeka, her family, or what happened at 1100 Spruce Street on October 30, 2011 is asked to come forward.
