A celebration that drew hundreds to a field near Zebulon on April 22, 2026, ended in gunfire and the death of 21-year-old Lemonz Feikhem Williams. The shooting occurred near the intersection of Mack Todd Road and West Barbee Street after an event called the Oil Spill Party, which was promoted through unofficial social media accounts tied to North Carolina Central University students; NCCU said it had no role in the event. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the party wound down around 10 p.m., with people walking back to vehicles in nearby fields when shots suddenly rang out.

First responders found multiple people with gunshot wounds. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene; four others were injured, two seriously and two with non-life-threatening wounds. Investigators cordoned off the area, recovered evidence, and towed at least two vehicles. No suspect had been publicly identified and no arrests were announced as of the reporting; the Wake County Sheriff’s Office asked anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone attend the event or see vehicles or people leaving the fields that night who could help investigators?
