Two Men Killed, Woman Injured in Durham Triple Shooting, Local Rapper Among Victims
Authorities in Durham are investigating a late-night triple shooting that left two men dead and a woman injured outside an apartment complex on the city’s north side.
According to the Durham Police Department, officers responded to reports of gunfire just before midnight on Friday in the 3500 block of North Roxboro Street, near the Regency Place Apartments.
When officers arrived at the scene, they discovered three individuals inside a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds.
Two adult males were pronounced dead at the scene, while a female victim was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Police later identified the deceased victims as 23-year-old Tevin Burney and 26-year-old Jarrett Godfrey, both residents of Durham.
Burney was reportedly known in the local music community by the stage name “YBT,” and was associated with the Durham-based rap collective 83 Babies, which gained regional attention following the release of their 2018 viral track No Cap.
The group rose to prominence in the late 2010s, attracting online attention for their music before eventually disbanding following internal challenges and legal issues involving some members. After the group’s breakup, Burney and other artists connected to the collective reportedly began pursuing independent music careers.
News of Burney’s death has circulated widely among fans and members of Durham’s local hip-hop community, prompting an outpouring of condolences and tributes on social media.
At this time, investigators have not released information about possible suspects or what may have led to the shooting.
Detectives are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses as they work to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The shooting remains an active and ongoing investigation, and authorities say additional details may be released as the case develops.

Angela Johnson and Her Son DeAngelo Johnson Killed After Shooting Inside Home in Chicago, Mother’s Boyfriend in Custody
CHICAGO — A 47-year-old mother and her 27-year-old son were fatally shot inside a residence in Chicago’s Austin neighborhood on the West Side late Thursday night, September 24, 2026, according to Chicago police.
The victims were identified as Angela Johnson, 47, and DeAngelo Johnson, 27. Police said a suspect, identified as Angela Johnson’s boyfriend, was taken into custody following the shooting.
The deadly shooting happened in the 800 block of North Parkside Avenue at approximately 10:43 p.m. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots coming from the basement of the residence and called 911.
When Chicago police officers arrived, they found the two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Angela Johnson was found in the basement with a gunshot wound to her chest. Police-radio traffic indicated she had been shot on the right side of her chest.
DeAngelo Johnson was found on the first floor with multiple gunshot wounds. Radio traffic indicated that he had suffered two gunshot wounds to his back.
Both victims were initially unresponsive and in critical condition. Emergency personnel performed CPR on DeAngelo Johnson before both victims were transported to Mount Sinai Hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
According to police-radio traffic, one victim was pronounced dead at approximately 11:18 p.m., while the male victim was pronounced dead around 11:21 p.m.

Authorities have not publicly stated who owned the firearms or confirmed which weapon, if either, was used in the fatal shooting.
Police also reported that DeAngelo Johnson was wearing an empty holster when officers found him on the first floor. That discovery prompted an officer-safety alert as officers searched the residence for the missing firearm.
