Deputies investigate stabbing that hospitalized two men in Raleigh, no arrests yet

Two men were rushed to a nearby hospital with serious injuries after a stabbing at a home in the 7600 block of Clear Skyview Circle in Raleigh, and Wake County deputies had not made any arrests by Sunday morning.

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were called around 2 a.m. on May 31 to the residential stretch off Old Stage Road in southern Wake County. Investigators said their preliminary information showed that two men had been stabbed and transported from the scene for treatment, but they did not identify the victims, give their ages or say what led to the confrontation.

By daybreak, detectives were still trying to sort out the circumstances surrounding the attack. The sheriff’s office said no one was in custody and that the investigation remained ongoing. Authorities were working to determine whether the stabbing was targeted or random, whether the people involved knew each other and whether there was any broader danger to the community.

The sheriff’s office asked anyone with information to call investigators at 919-856-6911, a sign that deputies were still relying on tips as they processed the scene and tried to identify a suspect. The attack happened in a neighborhood setting just after 2 a.m., a timing and location that often leaves residents wondering what happened before the violence began and whether there were warning signs that could help explain it.

The case also drew fresh attention to this part of southern Wake County, where Old Stage Road has been the focus of major transportation changes. Plans to widen the road near Garner were moving forward, with work scheduled to begin in 2025, and the ramp from Toll N.C. 540 West to Old Stage Road was expected to open as part of the Triangle Expressway buildout. The stabbing placed another public-safety incident on a corridor already shaped by growth, traffic change and continued scrutiny from residents watching how quickly the area is changing.
