Stacy Nichols Jr. was 30 when he was fatally shot outside the Emerald City Ultra Bar and Lounge in Durham, North Carolina, on January 28, 2017. The shooting happened in the early morning hours in the bar’s parking lot; Nichols died at the scene. Two other people, a man and a woman, were seriously injured in the same attack.

The location and timing – a crowded late-night parking area – make the circumstances and motive central questions in the ongoing investigation. If anyone saw activity in the Emerald City parking lot that night or has information about who was involved, please share details with the authorities.
