A late-night stabbing in Raleigh’s southeast side left one person wounded Tuesday, as officers flooded the 700 block of Quarry Street and began knocking on doors for video and eyewitness accounts.

Raleigh police say they were called to the area for a possible stabbing and found a person with stab wounds when they arrived. Investigators are now canvassing the neighborhood and urging anyone nearby to check their cameras and come forward with anything that might help.

According to CBS17, the department received the call around 11 p.m. on May 20. Officers located the wounded person at the scene, but police did not immediately share details about the victim’s condition or release a suspect description. No arrests have been announced.

The city’s police site lists Raleigh Crime Stoppers at 919-996-1193 and a non-emergency line at 919-829-1911 for anyone with tips or footage to share. Officials say anonymous tips and camera video, including doorbell or dash camera clips, can be valuable to detectives processing the scene. Residents near the 700 block of Quarry Street are asked to review any recordings from the night of the incident and report anything unusual.

Incident Fits Into Spring Pattern

The Quarry Street stabbing comes amid a run of late-night violent calls in southeast Raleigh this spring, including a May 4 shooting off Rock Quarry Road that sent two people to hospitals, as reported by Hoodline. Neighbors in those earlier cases told reporters they are worried about recurring late-night gunfire and assaults and say investigators have been canvassing blocks in search of evidence and video. Raleigh police say they are working to connect incidents where appropriate and will release more information as investigations move forward.

How Investigators Are Proceeding

Detectives remained on the scene collecting evidence and are urging anyone who witnessed the stabbing or has video from the area to contact the department or Crime Stoppers. Police remind residents that if they see an immediate threat they should call 911, and for non-emergencies they should use the Raleigh Police non-emergency line at 919-829-1911. Officers told CBS17 they will provide updates as new information becomes available.
