A photograph shows the aftermath of a shooting incident in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The incident occurred during a gathering to remember Lorenzo McLaughlin Jr., who was killed in a shooting over the weekend. As the event was ending, a fight broke out and multiple gunshots were fired. Video footage captured several armed Black men at the scene. Following the altercation, a car sped away and eventually crashed through a fence, landing in a swimming pool. The driver, who was also the shooting victim, managed to exit the vehicle and climb out of the pool before collapsing on Slater Avenue. Later that night, the suspect vehicles were found and seized at a nearby apartment complex. The ongoing investigation suggests that this shooting was not a random act of violence. Fayetteville Police Chief Kemberle Braden emphasized the importance of community cooperation in solving the crime and preventing further acts of violence.
