NCCU student identified as Durham driver who died after being shot at apartment complex

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- A driver who was shot and died Thursday afternoon in Durham has been identified as a student at North Carolina Central University.

The school said that Myles Gresham was the man found dead just before 3:30 p.m. inside a car on Rose Garden Lane at the Lenox at Patterson Place apartments.

Durham Police Department said Gresham appeared to have died from gunshot wounds. His vehicle had also damaged two cars in the parking lot by crashing into them.

Specifics surrounding exactly what happened remain unclear. Durham Police Department is still investigating.

NCCU said Gresham was a senior business administration major originally from Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

He was described as a "dedicated student with entrepreneurial aspirations." You can read the full message from the university here.

NC Central student London Redmond told ABC11 she went home to Dallas to finish classes remotely because she didn't feel safe, and she will be returning this week.

"We need to figure out something here, to protect all students, that's the main thing people are trying to figure out," she said "I wish I could turn back around and leave. Really don't want to be here there's no structure. So many crimes happening back to back to back...It's mind-boggling that this is an institution of higher learning but there isn't much learning more so crime and bad behavior not being corrected by administrators."
