Roderick Nathaniel Davis, 35, was shot and killed in Selma, North Carolina, on February 11, 2017. The shooting happened about 2:00 AM in the Rumba Club parking lot on US 301 South, near the Smithfield city limits. According to investigators, Davis approached a vehicle occupied by four people and fired at the driver, striking him twice. A passenger in that vehicle returned fire and fatally wounded Davis. Police found Davis beside the vehicle and he later died at Johnston Medical Center; the driver was taken to Wake Medical Center in stable condition. Officials said the incident followed an earlier confrontation in Harnett County and that some people involved were gang members, but detectives said they could not prove a gang-related motive. Prosecutors later announced no charges would be filed in connection with the killing.
Davis lived in Erwin and is survived by his daughter Caniah Reshae Daye Davis, his grandmother Myrtle Davis, and his siblings. Does anyone have information about the events that led to the parking lot confrontation?
