Durham police think this man knows something about a killing. Have you seen him?

Police released photos Thursday in hopes of identifying a man they say left the scene of a fatal shooting in Durham.

The man may have information about the March 7 death of Gregory Christopher Shaw Jr., 22, of Durham, according to a Police Department news release. Shaw was in an argument in the 900 block of Fayetteville Street when he was shot and died, The News & Observer previously reported.

Investigators say the man in the photos was riding in the passenger seat of a gold Ford Explorer, and they also hope to identify the person who was in the car’s back seat.
