Antonio Devon McDonald, 39, was shot and killed on the morning of September 23, 2025, on Capps Street off South Alston Avenue in south Durham. Officers found McDonald with gunshot wounds just before 10 a.m.; he died at the scene. Investigators sealed the block for hours while they processed evidence in the street and front yards, and detectives described the shooting as appearing to be an isolated incident.

By that afternoon a suspect had been detained and taken into custody, though authorities did not immediately release a name or specific charges as the investigation continued. Family and friends prepared funeral services for McDonald, born August 31, 1986, and memorial pages and a community fundraiser described him as a son, father, and friend whose death affected the neighborhood.
