Three men injured in southeast Raleigh shooting, no arrests yet
Three men were shot along Poole Road near Angier Avenue, and Raleigh police still had no arrest Sunday as neighbors faced safety questions on a busy southeast corridor.
A triple shooting along Poole Road sent three men to the hospital and left a busy southeast Raleigh corridor with unanswered safety questions after gunfire erupted near Angier Avenue and the New Bern Road intersection.
Raleigh police said officers were called to the 1900 block of Poole Road around 6:50 p.m. Saturday and found two men with gunshot wounds when they arrived. Both were taken to a hospital, and police said their injuries were not considered life-threatening. A third man later walked into a local hospital with a gunshot wound of his own, and police said his injuries were also non-life-threatening.
By Sunday morning, investigators had not announced any arrests and had not publicly said what led to the shooting. Police later said the gunfire did not happen at a Memorial Day party, but in a parking lot across the street from the Dollar Tree store at 1910 Poole Road, just southeast of the New Bern Road intersection. The victims were not identified, and police did not say whether they knew one another.
The lack of an arrest leaves detectives relying on witness accounts, security video and hospital interviews to reconstruct the sequence of events. It also keeps the focus on Poole Road itself, a heavily traveled route that serves nearby homes, stores and drivers moving through southeast Raleigh at the end of the weekend. Even with injuries that were not life-threatening, a shooting involving three victims can quickly disrupt the sense of security around a commercial block where customers and employees expect routine foot and car traffic.
Raleigh police asked anyone with information to call 919-996-3335 or submit an anonymous CrimeStoppers tip. The department’s public crime-data pages say it uses NIBRS-based reporting, and the City of Raleigh offers an online crime-mapping tool through Open Data Raleigh, which can help residents place the shooting in a broader neighborhood context.
The case lands as Chief Rico Boyce has made crime reduction one of the department’s strategic priorities. In its Summer Action Plan update, Raleigh police said crime in the city was down or unchanged in 2025 compared with the same period in 2024, while officers concentrated on nightlife, parks, greenways, transportation hubs and streets around bars and clubs. Against that backdrop, a triple shooting on Poole Road is the kind of incident that keeps southeast Raleigh residents watching for the next police update and the next clue.
