Colby Aaron Lucas, a 29-year-old man from Durham, North Carolina, was tragically murdered on September 25, 2018. Colby was senselessly shot while getting gas on his way home from work in South Durham. He was a man with a gentle heart, a biting wit, and a bright future ahead of him. Colby was a family man who worked incredibly hard to take care of his three beautiful boys: Jayden , Noel , and Caleb .
His fiancée, Vanessa, mother, Rose, and sisters, Teresa and Jocelyn, were left devastated by his untimely death.
The incident occurred at a convenience store at 109 N.C. Highway 54. Colby was found by rescue workers shortly before 2:30 p.m. in the store's parking lot, suffering from a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The police have not yet disclosed what prompted the shooting.
In connection with Colby's murder, Atom Divine Cameron, a 20-year-old man, was indicted for murder. Cameron turned himself in to the authorities and was taken to the Durham County Jail, where he was held on a $250,000 bond. The investigation into Colby's death is ongoing, and the police have urged anyone with information to come forward.
Colby's family and friends have been mourning his loss while trying to assist the police in finding the person responsible for this heinous crime. They have also been raising funds to cover funeral costs and support the ongoing needs of his three growing boys who no longer have their father in their lives.
