Deputies look for attempted-murder suspect
DURHAM - Sheriff’s investigators are looking for a man wanted for multiple charges including attempted first-degree murder after he allegedly fired a gun at another man during a domestic dispute Saturday in the parking lot of a local business.
Deputies responded to the parking lot of AW North Carolina at 4112 Old Oxford Hwy. in Durham at 8:08 p.m. after receiving reports of shots fired.
When deputies arrived, they learned that Tyrell Rashad Bullock, 23, of Crowder Lane in Henderson, had followed his ex-girlfriend to her work, blocked her vehicle with his and then fired multiple gunshots at another man who was riding with her. The man was not hit by gunfire and Bullock allegedly fled the scene before deputies arrived.
As the investigation continued, deputies said they learned that Bullock’s and his ex-girlfriend’s 3-year-old son was present during the shooting and saw Bullock firing. Bullock left the scene with the child in the car. An Amber Alert was not issued because Bullock and his ex-girlfriend share custody of their son and Bullock had arrived at the shooting scene with the child in the car.
Bullock is a black male, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 130 pounds with short black hair, a goatee, and has tattoos on both of his forearms. He may be driving a green 2012 Honda Accord with North Carolina license plate ALT-8834.
