Police learned an altercation between Crawford and Lee led to Lee fatally shooting Crawford, according to a release.

Chopper 11 flew over the scene and spotted a black SUV with its windows shattered, as well as multiple crime scene markers.
The wife of the victim, Traci Crawford, says Quinten Crawford, her husband, was there to break up a dispute between his daughter and her boyfriend.
"My whole world is gone. She feels responsible. We are just all heartbroken. He was everything to all of us. And he's just gone. I don't know what we're going to do without him?" Crawford said. "We have 5 grandkids. He was our rock."
The family set up a GoFundMe for memorial expenses.

"University should be the safest place you can be. Unfortunately, tonight, why they brought this to campus I do not know and those are answers we're still trying to get," said NC State Chief of Police Daniel House.
