Gunfire tore through the Valera East apartment complex in Greenville on Wednesday evening, striking two apartments and two vehicles near 4410 and 4420 Bostic Drive. No injuries were reported, and police say the investigation is still underway.
Officers responded to reports of shots fired around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday, according to WITN. When they arrived at the scene, they found that gunfire had struck two apartments and two cars parked at the complex, as first detailed by WCTI12.
Police confirmed that no one was hurt in the incident, and the case remains open as detectives continue piecing together what happened. No suspect information has been released, and the outlet's report does not indicate whether an arrest is imminent.
A Neighborhood With a Troubled History
Bostic Drive has seen gun violence before. Back in July 2022, Greenville police investigated a deadly shooting reported at 4110 Bostic Drive, according to WNCT, though there is no indication that incident is connected to Wednesday's shooting.
This week's gunfire also comes just as Greenville police announced a separate case nearby. The department charged a Greenville man, identified as Ke’Marion Dixon, with six counts of felony discharging a weapon into occupied property, along with injury to personal property and discharging a firearm in the city, in connection with an accusation that he fired repeatedly into an occupied home. That case, reported the same day as the Valera East shooting, is not described as linked to the Bostic Drive incident.
Gunfire Calls Remain a Persistent Problem
The Valera East shooting lands against a backdrop of citywide gun violence that Greenville police have flagged as a continuing concern. Officers responded to 491 calls about gunfire in 2025, even as overall crime in the city dropped 12 percent that year, according to figures police presented and reported by witn.com.
The department also seized more than 800 illegally possessed guns in 2025, and Police Chief Richard Tyndall said gun violence remains an area of focus for the department. Violent crime overall stayed roughly flat last year, though rape and homicide cases did increase compared with the prior year, per the same report.
Similar Incidents Beyond Greenville
Apartment complexes becoming targets of gunfire is not unique to Greenville. In August, Garner police investigated a report of shots fired at Timber Creek Apartments, an incident in which gunshots damaged cars and a building, according to ABC11 Raleigh-Durham. There is no indication that case is tied to what happened at Valera East.
For now, Greenville police have not released additional details about the Wednesday shooting, including any description of a shooter, a motive, or the extent of the damage to the apartments and vehicles involved. The investigation remains active as officers continue to gather information.
