Officers were called to the 6100 block of St. Giles Street, near Glenwood Avenue and Oak Park Road, around 5 p.m., after reports of a heavy police presence and a shooting investigation. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital, and ABC11 reported that his injuries were life-threatening.
Raleigh police had not immediately announced an arrest, a suspect description or a motive. As of Saturday morning, the case remained under investigation, and detectives were still working to determine what led to the shooting and whether the suspect fled on foot, in a vehicle or with help from someone else.
Police asked anyone with information to contact the Raleigh Police Department or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers. That appeal signaled the investigation was still in its evidence-gathering phase, with officers trying to reconstruct the moments before and after the gunfire.
