About Richard: Richard Ferguson, Jr. was killed on Sept. 13 on Chalk Level Road, when Durham police say a vehicle ran off the road, hit two signs, and then hit him. Ferguson's family described him as a dedicated brother to his 11 siblings, and a hard worker. He was in his 26th year working for the Durham Housing Authority in the maintenance division, and, according to his family, also worked a second job at Dollar General. They say he was coming home from that job, and had just gotten off of the City bus, when he was hit. "My brother was just, he loved everyone," Ferguson's sister, Crystal Russell, told WRAL. "He loved his family very much." Reginald Ferguson described his late brother as his best friend and spiritual advisor. "There was a time twenty some-odd years ago where I was going through some rough things, a drug addiction, and my brother helped see me through that," he said, in tears. "Never once gave up on me, one time...He didn’t deserve to get killed and leave this earth." Source: https://www.wral.com/news/investigates/hit-run-death-illegal-durham-october-2025/ more... less...
