FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Fayetteville Police Department's Aggravated Assault Unit is requesting the public's help identifying suspects in a shooting March 5 at a Motel 6.

On that day, officers were dispatched to the Motel 6 at 1922 Cedar Creek Road at 1:46 p.m. after a shots-fired call. While officers were en route, they were told a gunshot victim was being taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center in a private vehicle.

The victim, Kevin Brewington, 30, had been shot eight times. He is still recovering from his injuries, police said Thursday.

Police said their investigation has revealed that the suspects arrived in a silver or gray Nissan Altima. A woman got out and went into a nearby convenience store while two men got out of the car and walked to the motel.
