A teenager from Durham was killed at the house where he lived in Wilmington on Friday night as officers investigating the theft of two PlayStations arrived to search the house, authorities said.

Peyton Strickland, 18, was shot about 9:30 p.m. during a search of the Wilmington house he shared with three others.
