A man is in the hospital with serious injuries after a shooting Monday on the 6100 block of Horseshoe Drive, just south of Raleigh near Lake Wheeler Road, according to the Wake County Sheriff's Office. Deputies said the victim was found with a gunshot wound and rushed to a nearby hospital, and the scene remains under active investigation.
According to WRAL, deputies were called to the area Monday and discovered the man suffering from a gunshot wound. No one has been taken into custody, and the Wake County Sheriff's Office has asked anyone who might have seen or heard something to come forward by calling (919) 856-6911 as detectives work through incoming leads.
A busy stretch for investigators
This latest shooting lands on an already crowded case list for local law enforcement, which has been grappling with a string of violent incidents in the area this month. Earlier this month, a separate downtown shooting left two people wounded near the Raleigh Justice Center. That incident, including the police response and resulting road closures, is detailed in our previous coverage of the downtown shooting that wounded two people.
How to help the investigation
In a statement to WRAL, the Wake County Sheriff's Office repeated its call for tips, urging anyone with information about the Horseshoe Drive shooting to call (919) 856-6911 or reach out through the department's social media channels. Deputies have not yet released the victim's name as they continue to process the scene and interview witnesses.
