Just before late morning on June 29, 2025, Durham police were called to a home in the 600 block of Reservoir Street and found 20-year-old Jayquon Taborn and a 15-year-old girl suffering from gunshot wounds. Taborn, a Black male, was pronounced dead at the hospital; the teenager survived and was expected to recover. Police opened a homicide investigation that day.

Investigators later identified a suspect and asked the public for help. On July 11, Durham police named 18-year-old Sincere Bostic of Durham and warned he should be considered armed and dangerous, saying he was wanted for murder in connection with Taborn’s killing and for wounding the 15-year-old. U.S. Marshals arrested Bostic in Goldsboro on August 18, 2025. Authorities reported he was charged with one count of murder and one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or seriously injure, and held without bond at the Durham County Detention Center.

Did anyone in Durham recognize Taborn or the circumstances around the June 29 Reservoir Street shooting?
