Labreya Street, 32, a Black woman from Durham, North Carolina, was shot late on the night of June 21, 2025, and died at the scene. Officers were called just after 11 p.m. to a home on Linwood Avenue near South Alston Avenue, where Labreya Street, 32, was found with gunshot wounds. She was identified publicly by police the following days.
Within roughly 24 hours, detectives arrested Montgomery L. Davis, 51, of Durham.
He was charged in connection with the killing of Labreya Street, 32, with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and was booked into the Durham County Jail without bond. City records later summarized the arrest and the charges as part of the police department’s second-quarter report.
Unsealed warrants described a family gathering earlier that evening and an argument that moved into the street. According to those records, Davis told investigators that an altercation preceded the shooting; the documents also note that a child—present during the incident—identified the shooter to authorities. Subsequent reporting specified that the child was the victim’s son and that Davis was her uncle.
News reports and public records consistently list the victim as Labreya Street, 32, female, of Durham. Separate online memorials from local funeral homes and obituary aggregators confirm her name, age, and date of death as June 21, 2025, and note arrangements handled by a Durham funeral home.
As of the most recent local coverage and municipal summaries, the criminal case against Montgomery L. Davis remained active, with investigators initially urging anyone with additional information about the killing of Labreya Street, 32, to contact the department.
