DURHAM, N.C. — The Durham Police Department on Sunday was investigating a shooting that left one man dead and three others injured.

Police said officers responded to the shooting just after 5:30 p.m. in the 4400 block of North Carolina Highway 55.

When they arrived, they found three men who had been shot. The men were taken to a local hospital for treatment, where one man, identified as Anthony Giles, 23, of Durham, died from his injuries. The other two are said to have non-life-threatening injuries.

A short time later, police said another man was dropped off at a local hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound from this incident. His injures were non-life threatening.

Police told WRAL News there were two vehicles involved in the shooting. The blue and red cars were both riddled with bullets.

Video captured by a passing driver shows a man in a gray hoodie running away. The woman who captured the video told WRAL News she and other people nearby ran to the red car to help.

“I went to the red car and the driver was still in the driver seat slumped over. I just stood there kind of in shock,” said the woman. “Everybody was trying to get 911 and we couldn’t get an answer. It took like four or five minutes and then I was transferred to a different sanction and then I had to wait another five minutes.”

This is an active investigation, but police do not believe the shooting is random.

Anyone with information is asked to call Investigator B. Paulhus at 919-560-4440, ext. 29136, 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.
