Police identify 22-year-old killed in late-night Durham shooting that injured 2 others
Police have identified the victim of a fatal shooting in southwest Durham early Saturday morning.
Daniel Slack, 22, was killed in the shooting on Auto Drive, an area just behind the South Square shopping center on U.S. 15-501, near a night club and several restaurants.
Two others were injured in the shooting and taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries from the shooting.
In total, according to various media reports, at least nine people had been shot in Durham since Thursday, in four separate incidents. Three of the nine were killed.
The News & Observer previously reported that police arrested a suspect — following an hours-long standoff at an apartment building in south Durham — in a double shooting in which one person was killed and another seriously injured.
The police had recently responded to a separate report of shots fired in the same area earlier that day, The N&O reported, but believe it was unconnected to the fatal shooting that occurred later.
The third incident was a non-fatal shooting at a Sheetz gas station, which ABC 11 reported happened in the middle of the afternoon Friday north of town, on N. Duke Street.
The final incident occurred later on Saturday, as three people were shot, one fatally, on West Woodcroft Parkway.
