Antoine Bernard Troublefield, aged 33, was fatally shot on October 18, 2016, in Durham, North Carolina. At the time of his death, Troublefield was living in Chapel Hill and had traveled to visit a friend's apartment on Wiggins Street in Durham. While there, he was the victim of a drive-by shooting. Responding officers arrived shortly before 9:15 p.m. and found Troublefield with gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.
The homicide remains unresolved, and no clear motive has been publicly established. Troublefield's family and friends have actively sought justice, appealing to the public for information that could lead to an arrest. His death has left a void for those who knew him, particularly his young son. Antoine was remembered as a kind and generous individual who worked with Pathways for People, assisting adults and children with mental challenges. His murder is one of many unsolved cases in Durham from that period.
Despite some investigative progress, such as potential leads and public pleas for information, the case remains cold, and the family continues to await justice. Durham police have urged anyone with details about the shooting to come forward, hoping to bring closure to those affected by the tragic loss.
