On May 21, 2005, 30-year-old Rayburn Antonio Demarcus Simms was fatally shot in Durham, North Carolina. Early that morning police found his green 2001 Chrysler Sebring after a single-car crash near the Oaks at Northgate Apartments on Broad Street; investigators say Simms had been shot in the side, lost control, and crashed. The vehicle was riddled with bullet holes and Simms died shortly after being discovered.

Authorities believe the shooting occurred on Leon Street, about two blocks from where the car was found. No arrests have been announced and the murder remains unsolved. His mother, Joslin Simms, has spoken publicly about her grief and pushed for anti-violence efforts; community vigils and awareness campaigns have been held and CrimeStoppers is offering rewards for tips. Is there anyone who remembers activity on Leon Street or Broad Street that morning who could help bring answers?
