On August 31, 2023, Robert Leon Terrell, 45, was found shot on a sidewalk near Holloway and Brye Streets in Durham shortly before 5 p.m. He was one of two people killed that afternoon in a series of shootings across the city.

About 30 minutes earlier officers had responded to a shooting on Fargo Street at 4:24 p.m., where a man suffered non-life-threatening injuries and a juvenile suspect was detained. Less than a mile from where Terrell was found, a separate shooting at a strip mall on North Miami Boulevard killed 22-year-old Devin Rogers of Burlington and wounded two others, a man and a juvenile, non-life-threateningly.

Authorities have not confirmed any arrests in connection with Terrell’s death, and investigators are examining whether the Fargo Street, Holloway Street, and North Miami Boulevard shootings are linked. Community members have called for broader efforts from parents, organizations, and elected officials to address the rising violence in the area.

If anyone has information about Robert Terrell or the events of August 31, please share what you know with investigators.
