Trawick Road was closed between New Bern Avenue and Lake Woodard Drive as authorities investigated the incident. The road was reopened around 10:30 a.m.
Due to the open, highly-visible nature of the crime scene, detectives think there could be people who heard or saw things that they have not yet conveyed to the police. That would include anyone who was in the area and witnessed anything related to the shooting or saw unusual activity in the vicinity before, during or after the time of the shooting, along with anyone with any other helpful information.
