3 injured when argument over Raleigh park leads to shooting

Authorities said that three people sustained non-life threatening injures after a shooting in the 1000 block of Addison Place at about 3:30 p.m.

One witness told WRAL News that he heard several shots in quick succession and saw a person lying in the driveway of a nearby home.

Neese Raines said she walked outside her home to see her two sons, Malik Raines, 21, and Devone Raines, 16, and her nephew, Donzell Jones, 18, shot.

"They come over here, messing with my kids," she said.

Raines said the shooting started with an argument that began when another group did not want her children to go to a neighborhood park.

"My son couldn't even go to the park. They are telling him he can't go to the park," she said. "He couldn't go to the park because they call themselves gang members."

All three shooting victims are expected to recover, but the level of violence has family friend Victoria Wilkins worried for her own child.

"He told the kid he couldn't to to the park and it was supposed to be just a fight and then ended up being a shooting. They didn't even know they were going to get shot,' said Wilkins.

At one point Tuesday afternoon, police detained several people not far from the shooting scene. Police have not said if any arrests were made.
