Colton Rogers, 22, of Raleigh was fatally shot during an early-morning fight at a home on Cy Lane in southern Wake County on March 12, 2019. The altercation began around 1:30 a.m. after Rogers, described as highly intoxicated, urinated on an interior wall and became belligerent when asked to stop. A physical struggle followed between Rogers and William Collen Allen, 19, who was present at the residence. Allen grabbed a shotgun and shot Rogers in the head, killing him instantly.

Rogers was a graduate of Camden Military Academy and was attending Wake Technical Community College with plans to transfer to NC State. He worked as a Team Leader at Athens Moving Experts and was described as someone devoted to his faith, weight lifting and football. Allen was arrested and charged with murder and held in the Wake County Detention Center; Colton’s girlfriend told deputies her brother fired the fatal shot.

Does anyone have additional details about the night on Cy Lane or about Colton’s activities that evening?
