Man shot to death outside Moriches home, Suffolk County police say

A man was shot dead Friday morning at a gated community in Moriches where he lived, according to Suffolk police.

He was identified as Tyrell Durham, 37, in a police news release, which said he was killed outside his residence.

The shooting, about 1 a.m., was at the Tall Oaks Circle, an apartment complex just south of Sunrise Highway, according to the release.

Durham was declared dead at Long Island Community Hospital in East Patchogue, where he was brought after being found, the release said.

The release did not provide a motive, say whether there are any suspects or whether anyone had been detained or arrested in the case.
