On the night of April 15, 2023, at about 11:00 p.m., officers from the Durham Police Department responded to a shooting on the 300 block of East Cornwallis Road in Durham, North Carolina. They found 25-year-old Christopher Jahquel Greene with gunshot wounds; he was taken to a hospital and later died. Investigators say Greene was shot during an aggravated assault and that the shooting does not appear to be random, indicating he may have known his assailant or assailants. No arrests have been announced and no suspects have been publicly identified.

Born September 27, 1997, in Washington, North Carolina, Greene lived in Aurora before relocating to Durham and attended Durham Public Schools. He enjoyed rapping, playing sports, and spending time with his children; he is survived by his parents Bryan Upchurch and Sophia Harper, his children Taylor Marie Greene, Bella Monae Greene, and Khloe Hedgepeth, and other family members. Funeral services were held April 29, 2023, at New Growth Unlimited Ministries in Aurora.

Does anyone in Durham or Aurora have information that could help investigators identify who shot Christopher Greene?
