RALEIGH, N.C. — One man was wounded late Thursday in a shooting at an apartment complex near North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus, police said.

The shooting occurred in the 600 block of Chappell Drive, off Avent Ferry Road, shortly before 9:30 p.m. Police said a robbery in an apartment led to gunfire.

Jamelle Leshaea Williams, 26, who was shot in the back, was taken to WakeMed for treatment of what police called serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

Police were questioning residents of the complex and were searching for the gunman.

A man who lives in the complex said he came home from dinner to find Williams shot on the floor of his apartment.

A woman who lives in the complex said she was watching a movie with her grandsons and didn't hear any gunshots but was alerted to the shooting as the victim banged on apartment doors for help.
