Five people were shot Wednesday night in a field in eastern Wake County. A man was killed, and four people were injured, including a boy.

Deputies with the Wake County Sheriff's Office said they responded around 10:40 p.m. to multiple people shot at the intersection of Mack-Todd Road and Barbee Road near Zebulon. They found two men suffering from gunshot wounds. Both were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

First responders located a third man, Lemonz Feikhem Williams, who was also shot in the incident. They attempted life-saving measures, but Williams died at the scene. He was 21 years old.

A short time later, a man and a boy walked into a local hospital with gunshot wounds believed to be connected to the shooting. They are both expected to be okay. 

A witness spoke to WRAL News and said a party was happening in the large field. She said the party was ending and, as people were leaving, they heard gunfire and started running.

The intersection remained closed into Thursday morning as investigators pieced together the circumstances surrounding the shooting. So far, no one is in custody.

Drone 5 flew over the field once the sun was up, showing crime scene tape and more than a dozen evidence markers strewn about the area. 

WRAL News is working to learn the conditions and identities of the victims, but Broadcastify radio traffic provides more details about the shooting scene:

“…one male as of right now, GSW to the chest, no pulse, not breathing.

“We have (another) GSW through the leg, it'll be near the intersection of Mack Todd and Barbee Street. We're working on getting there. I believe it's gonna be below the knee.”

Zebulon Mayor Jessica Daniels Harrison released the following statement:

"My heart is heavy as I learned of the tragic incident that occurred near Todd Park following last night’s event. While this took place outside of Zebulon’s town limits, it impacts people in and around our community and for that reason, we grieve alongside all those affected. On behalf of the Town of Zebulon, I extend my deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the individual who lost their life. I am also keeping those who were injured in my thoughts and prayers, along with the first responders who acted swiftly and with care in a difficult situation. Moments like this remind us how connected we all are. I encourage our community to keep these families lifted in prayer and to extend compassion and support in the days ahead."

WRAL News has covered issues with field parties in the past, including one in May in Orange County that caused massive traffic jams and left students stranded. 

WRAL News is working to contact the party organizer and property owners to ask them about the incident.

Wake County Sheriff Willie Rowe provided the following statement:

“On behalf of the entire Wake County Sheriff’s Office, we extend our sincere condolences to the victim’s family and all affected by this tragedy. Violence has no place in Wake County, and our investigators will work tirelessly to ensure those responsible are held accountable. "
