Two 30-year-old men were shot while sitting on the porch of a Raleigh home Tuesday night, police said. One man died of his injuries.
Posted — UpdatedSughrue said that Ezekiel Abanishe Crowder, 30, and Marcus Qutavis McClenningham, 30, were sitting on the porch of a home at 609 Hay Lane around 10 p.m.
"Someone walked up to the house and just started shooting,” police Capt. Chris Bertram said. Neighbors said they heard a series of gunshots.
Crowder suffered critical injuries and was taken to WakeMed, where he died. McClenningham was shot in the arm and treated for non-life-threatening injuries. He was released from the hospital Wednesday evening.

Investigators spent the night combing the scene for evidence and talking to witnesses.
