Ryan Anthony Lee was 16 and from Rocky Mount, North Carolina when he was fatally shot on April 2, 2008. Police were dispatched about 11:30 AM after a report of a person shot on Clark Street; investigators determined Lee had been shot on Branch Street, managed to run about two blocks to his home, then collapsed and died there.

The death remains unsolved. No arrests have been announced and the person or persons responsible have not been identified. Team Cold Case is offering up to a $15,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Lee’s funeral was held at Thornes Chapel Missionary Baptist Church with the Rev. Richard L. Battle officiating.

Who in Rocky Mount that day might have seen activity on Branch Street or Clark Street, or anyone with information about this shooting, is asked to come forward.
