All clues led to the Hispanic man, and on April 23, officers identified Osman Calderón Juárez as responsible for the shooting.

«Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury; and possession of a firearm by a felon,» are the charges for which the police issued an arrest warrant against Calderón.

Detectives returned to the community, but the suspect was no longer there.

They searched for him throughout Durham County and all over North Carolina, without success.

They turned to the community for support and the United States Marshal Service (USMS).

For over a month, Calderón Juárez managed to hide and evade authorities.

Finally, on May 24, 2024, USMS officers located him in Washington D.C.

He was temporarily held in a local jail and then returned to North Carolina.

He is currently in police custody in the Durham County jail, awaiting the final outcome of the investigation.

At his first court appearance, he was granted conditional freedom, but he will only enjoy it once he pays one million dollars.
