Two People Shot Early Sunday in Glenwood South; Police Investigate

Two people were found with gunshot wounds in Raleigh’s Glenwood South entertainment district after officers responded to the 600 block of West North Street shortly after 2:15 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 22, 2026, Raleigh police said. The victims were taken to a nearby hospital for medical care, and investigators remain on the scene.

Raleigh Police Department officers were dispatched at about 2:15–2:16 a.m. to reports of shots fired on the 600 block of West North Street, the corridor that runs through Glenwood South near downtown Raleigh. Officers located two people with gunshot wounds when they arrived and arranged transport to medical care at a nearby hospital; police have not released the victims’ names, ages, genders, or conditions.

Police are continuing to investigate what led to the shooting and who is responsible. A Facebook post from an official source summarized the inquiry: “Police are investigating what led to a shooting and who's responsible early Sunday morning in the Glenwood South district near downtown.” No arrests have been announced and no suspect descriptions have been released.

On-scene activity included a visible police perimeter and crime tape at the location while officers processed the area. Investigators have not provided details on the number of shooters, whether any weapons were recovered, or whether surveillance footage or witness statements have been obtained. Raleigh police have not yet released an incident number or an official on-scene statement with further particulars.

The shooting occurred inside Glenwood South, a concentrated entertainment and nightlife corridor near downtown Raleigh, on the 600 block of West North Street. City maps list West North Street as the east-west artery through that section; initial reports placed the response at roughly 2:15 a.m. Sunday, with one source using 2:16 a.m., reflecting the narrow variation in early dispatch times.

Police asked anyone with information or video of the area around 2:15 a.m. Sunday to contact the Raleigh Police Department so investigators can determine what led to the shooting and who is responsible. Investigators continue to work the case and have not released further details about motive or the sequence of events that preceded the gunfire.
