Wilmington police: Traffic crash led to deadly Halloween night shooting Updated November 2 at 6:58 PM WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - Investigators with the Wilmington Police Department said a deadly shooting late Halloween night was the result of a verbal altercation that became violent following a traffic crash. The shooting happened in the 3600 block of Wrightsville Avenue just before midnight. Wilmington police say officers were in the area investigating a noise complaint when they heard gunfire and rushed to the scene. When police arrived, they saw a vehicle speeding away and performed life-saving measures on the victim, identified as 23-year-old Carly Rae Baron, who later died at the hospital. Officers chased and eventually detained the suspect, 21-year-old Jaquan Cortez Jackson, who was charged with second-degree murder. He’s being held at the New Hanover County Jail under a $750,000 secured bond. Police say Jackson was arguing with a group of people after the traffic crash and fired a gun during the dispute. “At this time, we do not believe the parties knew each other prior to this incident,” a spokeswoman for the Wilmington Police Department said in a statement Monday afternoon. “We extend our deepest sympathies to anyone impacted by this shooting. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.” |
