The Hillsborough Police Department issued an arrest warrant this week for a suspect who allegedly shot a gun toward an apartment building in early July.

A release on Tuesday said 21-year-old Nakore Kewan Rogers is charged with felony counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property and possessing a firearm as a felon. Police are also charging Rogers with three counts of the misdemeanor charge of injuring property and discharging a firearm in city limits.

The charges stem from an incident on Sunday, July 3, when a male suspect walked into the parking lot of Cadence at Cates Creek Apartments, located at 1000 Waterstone Park Circle. The suspect fired several shots, which struck two vehicles and an apartment building, before fleeing into nearby woods.

Rogers, who Hillsborough Police said has a last-known address on Adlett Lane in Durham, is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information on Rogers’ whereabouts is encouraged to contact Investigator Van St. Pierre with the Hillsborough Police Department. He be reached by email or phone at 919-296-9533.
