Man shot to death outside Durham convenience store

Site Search

Durham, N.C. — Police are investigating the shooting death of a man outside a Durham convenience store late Wednesday night.

Officers responding to the shooting at Town-N-Country, 3101 University Drive, found the man with multiple gunshot wounds.

His name has not been released, but police said he was not an employee of the store.

The store's manager told WRAL News Thursday that the man was shot outside the store but managed to get inside before he died in front of the counter.

A clerk and one other customer were inside but were not hurt, the manager said.

Investigators have not made any arrests in the case, Durham police said in a news release. It did not mention a possible motive.

Anyone with information about the shooting should call Durham Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.

Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards for information leading to arrests in felony cases, and callers never have to identify themselves.

"I also trust the Durham Police dept. to find the killer."

Me too, And trust that the Durham County revolving door justice system will promptly set them free to do it again.

I grew up in Raleigh and now live in Durham. There is crime everywhere and actually Raleigh crime has been on the news way more than Durham as of late. You can't condemn a whole city for the acts of some criminal's behavior. Stop being so close minded, racist and smug about where you live. It only takes a car for a criminal to end up in a nice neighborhood. Pulling together and watching out for your neighbors is the first step to stopping these type of crimes from being committed. I offer condolences to the family who lost their family member. I also trust the Durham Police dept. to find the killer.

Again, let's blame everyone, or everything, other than the I D iot with the gun. Sure, that makes sense. The gun hated this person. A completely inanimate object, decided that this person needed to be shot. You people beat all I have ever seen, or heard.

wonder how long before people stop going to events in downtown durham southerntalent

You are aware that this occurred on the Durham / Chapel Hill border area and many miles from the edge of downtown Durham. You would have to go down University drive a good amount of miles to hit the downtown area.
