Jalen Malik Perry, 26, of Durham, North Carolina, was shot and killed on Thursday, June 11, 2026, near the intersection of Cornwallis Road and South Roxboro Street. Police were called about 4:26 p.m. after reports of a person suffering from a gunshot wound. Accounts differ on whether Perry was pronounced dead at the scene or after being taken to a hospital, but all reports agree the gunshot wound caused his death.

Durham police identified and arrested 19-year-old Zamir Browder of Durham in connection with Perry’s death; Browder was charged with murder and discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling. Investigators said the probe remained active, and officials had not released a detailed motive or a full sequence of events leading to the shooting. No trial or conviction had been reported.

Does anyone who was in the Cornwallis Road and South Roxboro Street area that afternoon or who knew Perry have information that could help investigators?
