Durham Triple Shooting: Local Rapper Tevin “YBT” Burney Among Two Killed, Woman Hurt Near North Roxboro Street

A late-night shooting in Durham has left two young men dead and a woman injured, as investigators work to determine what led to the violence.

Police say officers responded just before midnight Friday to the 3500 block of North Roxboro Street, near the Regency Place Apartments, after reports of gunfire. When they arrived, they found three individuals inside a vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds.

Two men — identified as 23-year-old Tevin Burney and 26-year-old Jarrett Godfrey — were pronounced dead at the scene. A woman in the vehicle was transported to a nearby hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

Burney, known in the local music scene as “YBT,” was recognized as part of the rap collective 83 Babies, gaining attention in recent years for his work and presence in the community.

Authorities have not released information regarding suspects or a possible motive. Detectives continue to canvass the area, review evidence, and interview potential witnesses.

The investigation remains active and ongoing as the community mourns the loss of two lives cut short.

The families are expected to release obituary, memorial, funeral, and visitation arrangements in the coming days. Pending those details, not all information may be fully confirmed, and this report may be updated as new information becomes available.
