DURHAM, N.C. -- Police in Durham have arrested an 18-year-old in connection with a quadruple shooting Wednesday evening that left a teenager dead.
Justin Perry, 18, of Kittrell, turned himself in to police early Thursday morning. He was charged with the murder of 17-year-old Joseph Towah from Drew Street in Durham.
Authorities are looking for 20-year-old Darien Taylor in connection with the shooting that occurred near the 600 block of Gray Avenue in Durham. He has also been charged with Towah's murder.
The victims, teenagers ranging in age from 15 to 18, were rushed to Duke University Medical Center. Two of the wounded victims suffered life-threatening injuries, and the third was treated for a gunshot to his arm, authorities said. One of them died a short time later.
Witnesses told police two men simply walked up to the victims and opened fire. Although the shooting occurred in daylight around 6 p.m., authorities said no one was able to provide a good description of the suspects.
"It's always difficult when we can't get information," said Kammie Michael, the spokeswoman for the Durham Police Department. "We know somebody saw something because it happened in broad daylight."
The shooting shattered what had been a relatively quiet year for this type of violence.
Some residents fear that gang violence in the city could be on the rise, the shooting occurred in an area know to be a stronghold of the Crips.
The slaying was the seventh homicide in Durham this year. By contrast, 18 murders were recorded in the city the first half of last year.
Local authorities tried early this year to broker a truce between rival gangs. But a rape investigation involving the Duke University lacrosse team has been the focus of the police department in recent months, and the truce fell apart.
Resident Georgia Alston said she's afraid Wednesday's shooting will ignite a new wave of gang violence.
"I just don't want to be around it," Alston said. "It just doesn't make much sense -- why they do things like this."
Anyone with information on Taylor's whereabouts is asked to CrimeStoppers at 919-683-1200.

They have to put up with that PC BS on CTV forums. They yanked the thread on the arrest of Chalmer's daughter.

Okay-so it's acceptable if black people perpetrate crimes against white people???...and they call white people racists.
Is Smith/Hobbs/McNeil related to the ex?

That's how it reads to me; makes sense to shoot whites.
By the way. The original investigation into all of Crystial's friends and relations being arrested by Nifong's goons was done right here on Free Republic.
That's what I'm talking about!!
Who's the FReeper? LOL
The N & O will continue to ignore the corruption.
In the previous thread. I forget who first found it.
I believe it's PtBoR.
Who's the FReeper posting on the N & O blog? Love it!
PBR, post 1907, Monday morning...
LOL!!!!

Thanks for keeping me up to date--You guys are the best! Perhaps a few of you could head to Durham and let the PD get back to handling gang violence...I think you guys have this non-rape, non-crime resolved. You just need to fill in the judge and tell Nifong his case is so finished it's laughable. Perhaps telling the folks in Durham the DA's office is pre-occupying the PD may not go over too well with voters in Nov.
"Local authorities tried early this year to broker a truce between rival gangs. But a rape investigation involving the Duke University lacrosse team has been the focus of the police department in recent months, and the truce fell apart."
Typical isn't it...blame it on the white guy.
Classic....
