On September 15, 2024, at about 6:00 p.m., Durham police responded to a reported shooting near Glenbrook Drive and Dubonnet Place. Officers found 23-year-old Dashaun Johnson with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and died shortly afterwards. Three people were arrested in connection with the killing: 22-year-old Marcus Beatty Jr., 20-year-old Elijah Page, and 19-year-old Simone Cameron. All three were charged with first-degree murder. Beatty and Cameron were also charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, and all three are being held without bond in the Durham County Jail.

Investigators say the fatal shooting may be linked to a nonfatal shooting the night before in the same neighborhood, when three men were injured near Glenbrook Drive and Dubonnet Place. Police are continuing to investigate and have asked anyone with information to come forward; CrimeStoppers is offering cash rewards for tips that lead to arrests.
