On the evening of September 15, 2023, at about 8:02 PM, Raleigh police officers responded to a reported shooting in the 2500 block of Cedar Forest Way and found 51-year-old Jesse Oliver with a gunshot wound. He was taken to a local hospital in serious condition and died shortly afterward. Authorities identified 35-year-old Kaleek Cross as a suspect and charged him with murder in connection with Oliver’s death. The motive has not been released, and officials have not said whether Oliver and Cross knew each other.

Jesse Oliver, known as Ty Ty, had moved to Raleigh from New Jersey and worked at Verizon Wireless. He is survived by his mother, children, siblings, and other relatives and friends. Police continue to gather evidence and urge anyone with information to come forward.

Can anyone who knew Jesse or witnessed the incident help investigators by sharing what they know?
