Samuel Carr, 43, was found fatally shot at a residence in the 3400 block of Old Chapel Hill Road in Durham during the early hours of March 28, 2024. Officers pronounced him dead at the scene. Police have described the incident as isolated.

Court records show that on May 21, 2024, 47-year-old Antoniquette Rigsbee turned herself in to the Durham County Jail and was charged with murder, first-degree kidnapping, and stalking in connection with Carr’s death. Records allege Rigsbee had been stalking Carr via phone calls, emails, and by following him, and that her conduct caused him to fear for his life and safety.

Friends described Carr as kind-hearted and generous and said he made a strong impression on those around him. Anyone with information that could help the investigation is asked to contact authorities.
