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.
