A juvenile suspect armed with a weapon was detained following a “serious assault” Monday evening on Tobacco Barn Road in Fuquay-Varina that left two people severely injured, investigators and local coverage show. CBS17 summarized the immediate scene as: “An armed suspect is in custody following a ‘serious assault’ in Wake County Monday evening.”

Wake County Sheriff’s Office actions in the case included detention of the juvenile and, later, the filing of a juvenile petition against the minor, ABC11 reported: “A juvenile petition was filed against the minor.” Authorities have not released the juvenile’s name or age in the available reports.

Three adults have also been arrested in connection with the investigation. ABC11 lists the most detailed charging information and arrest dates: “Raul Castillo‑Acevedo Jr., 19, was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflicting serious injury, five counts of felony discharge a weapon into occupied property, one count of injury to real property, and one count of injury to personal property.” ABC11 further states that “On Sept. 19, authorities arrested 24‑year‑old Axel Abraham Saguilan‑Diaz. Angelo Quirino‑Rodriguez, 18, was arrested Aug. 27 in connection with this case.”

Local television coverage from ABC11 and CBS17 included scene photos and on-air reporting; ABC11 noted explicitly that “NOTE: Video is from a previous report.” The original summary of the incident in law-enforcement terms reads: “Wake County Sheriff's Office detained a juvenile suspect armed with a weapon following a serious assault on two people Monday evening on Tobacco Barn Road. Victims were severely injured in the incident.”

Investigators have not released victim names, ages, or hospital details in the material provided so far. ABC11’s coverage closes with the status update that “The case remains under investigation,” and no court dates for the named adults were provided in the excerpts available.

An item from WTVD cited an August 24 shooting in the 3300 block of Moonglow Drive that left a man injured and damaged several homes and vehicles and said a juvenile and a third man were taken into custody in that August incident. That WTVD account identifies separate specifics for the Aug. 24 Moonglow Drive shooting; authorities have not confirmed whether the Moonglow Drive case and the Tobacco Barn Road assault are the same event.

Wake County Sheriff’s Office statements, charging records and court filings will be needed to confirm arrest dates, full charges for Axel Abraham Saguilan‑Diaz and Angelo Quirino‑Rodriguez, and the juvenile’s processing pathway. For now, the cleared facts are: the Tobacco Barn Road incident was characterized as a serious assault that severely injured two people, a juvenile was detained and petitioned, three adults have been arrested with one, Raul Castillo‑Acevedo Jr., 19, facing multiple felony counts, and the investigation remains active.
