Man Critically Hurt in Shooting at Wendell Party

Wendell, N.C. — A Wendell man was in critical condition at WakeMed on Sunday with a gunshot wound following an argument that broke out at a house party, Wake County sheriff's deputies said.

Vincent Genneiro Wilson, 21, was hurt, deputies said.

The sheriff's office said Justin Christopher Keeton, 20, of 104 Agate Court, Knightdale, had been charged with assault with a deadly weapon (and) inflicting serious bodily injury with intent to kill.

Keeton fled the scene at 7021 Hodge Road in Wendell after the shooting, but was arrested a short time later, deputies reported.

The incident was reported at 1:07 a.m., officials said. Johnson said deputies were told that Wilson and Keeton had been arguing at the party before shots were fired.

The sheriff's office said Wilson had undergone emergency surgery.

Glad they caught this guy and I can only imagine that alcohol was a factor.

Bloodhounds use scent articles. German shepards do not. They track by smelling the ground that has been disturbed and they can't tell the difference of a good guys track or the bad guys. It's much harder that way and that results in fewer arrests from tracks. So, that's how Steve. Been to any exciting calls lately?

"On second thought, I will ask one question. How do the Raleigh police, in a show of force including the use of tracking dogs, lose a half-naked, barefoot kid in a residental neighborhood in the middle of the night?"

Steve. There is a very easy answer to your question. The first responding officer arrived probably around 5-7 minutes after the initial 911 call came in. The officer speaks with the complainant for probably 3-5 minutes and then determines to call out a K9. The K9 officer arrives and probably does not have a scent article (a piece of clothing saturated with the suspects scent) to use to make sure the K9 stays on the right track. So the K9 handler tries it anyway. I am assuming he is in a neighborhood. This creates another problem. Foot traffic. By this time the track os probably 30-45 minutes old in a contaminated area. This are but a few of the issues K9 handlers have to deal with along w/ pressure from other officers to get the suspect. Long story short, it ain't easy!

Whoops. Wrong story. That last one was meant for the missing kid story. Sorry.
