DURHAM, N.C. -
A Durham man has been indicted on murder charges in
connection with a January 2011 shooting on Canal Street.
Veshan Chambers, 24,
was charged with fatally shooting Jimmie Lamont Harris Jr., 24, on Jan. 16,
2011.
Officers were
responding to a "shots fired" call on Jan. 6 shortly before 5 p.m. When they
arrived they found Harris lying on the steps in front of a home on Canal St.
A second victim, a 28-year-old man, was also shot and
was taken to the hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
Investigators said Chambers and Harris knew each other and the shoot was
not a random act.
