Raleigh police were investigating a shooting on Justice Union Court, the fourth shooting death in the City of Oaks this week.
Posted — UpdatedA body was visible in a driveway along the street, which is part of the 540 West development between the Neuse River and Interstate 540 on the far eastern side of town.
Police said the man was a landscaper working in the subdivision, but they did not release his name.
Work in the neighborhood stopped while police interviewed members of the construction crew.
