On Monday, April 14, 2025, at about 6:30 PM, a road rage incident on I-85 ended in the death of 63-year-old Broderick Hines of Durham at the intersection of Gate No. 2 Road and the I-85 northbound off-ramp in Butner, North Carolina. Butner Public Safety Officers were initially dispatched to a reported single-car crash but were told en route that a shooting had occurred. Officers found Hines with a single gunshot wound; Granville EMS took him to Duke University Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Witnesses said an orange Jeep Wrangler with two occupants pulled alongside Hines’ vehicle and fired into the passenger side, striking him. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation assisted with the probe. Two adults from Henderson, Travis Randall Jones and Maquita Blue, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder and firing into an occupied vehicle; they were taken into custody and held without bond.

Are there witnesses or dashcam footage from I-85 or the off-ramp that could clarify the sequence of events that led to the shooting?
