DURHAM (WTVD) -- Durham police arrested and charged 21-year-old Anthony Peaks Jr. with murder in connection with a fatal shooting last week near Mutual Drive.
It happened late last Thursday when authorities received a call about a shooting victim on Mutual Drive in South Durham.
When officers arrived, they found 20-year-old Javaun Devonte Graves. He was taken to Duke University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
