Police: Man, 17, shot to death in Durham

Durham, N.C. — Durham police officers are investigating their first homicide of the year, a shooting that left a 17-year-old boy dead Thursday night.

Alejandro Emir Denis-Terron, of Camellia Drive, was shot around 11 p.m. at a house at 119 Herbert St., according to police.

Denis-Terron was standing in the yard with a group of other men when the shooting happened, police said. Investigators said they don't know what the motive was.

Anyone with information is asked to call Investigator Soucie at 919-560-4440, ext. 274, or 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 like knowing where the shootings are happening in Durham. It helps me plan my route through town.

Another grim statistic of another young life taken away by gang violence in the City of Durham. Where this incident happen at Herbert Street is one of the most dangerous places in town. Question:What was this kid doing out hanging around at 11:00 at night? When this kid was shot,tell me that they were over a dozen gangbangers hanging out on that section of Herbert Street and nobody saw nothing? That's Durham....It's just like Compton.

Don't be silly, that's just not true.

More bad things happen in Durham. I worked in Durham for over six years. I know of a bus that was shot up in a drive-by. That just doesn't happen in Raleigh. If it did, you can be sure it would be reported.

Anything negative that happens in Durham gets headlines. Not so with Raleigh and Cary.

"They had to report it because it was in Durham. That is what WRAL does. If is happens in Durham then they have to make it a headline."

Yeah, the fact that it was a MURDER wasn't newsworthy enough, was it? But since it's in Durham, oh yeah, NOW it is newsworthy!

Here's clue: WRAL is not out to get Durham. Stuff happens in Durham. It gets reported. Stuff happens in Raleigh. It gets reported.
