Fayetteville, N.C. — Cumberland County investigators on Friday released the names of two people who were shot during a Wednesday night melee on Dunn Road.

J. Billy Ford, 27, of the 2000 block of Simon Street in Fayetteville, was listed in very serious condition at a Charlotte hospital. He was being treated for a shotgun wound to the upper portion of his body.
