On July 1, 2023, at about 9:20 p.m., Raleigh officers responded to reports of gunfire in the 5400 block of Picket Fence Lane, a residential area off Buck Jones Road. Officers found several townhomes struck by bullets but no injured persons and no victims at the scene. Two days later landscapers working nearby discovered the body of 28-year-old Dexter Rashad Ingram in a wooded area behind those townhomes. Authorities linked Ingram’s death to the earlier shooting and opened a homicide investigation.

In the weeks that followed, Raleigh police arrested multiple suspects. On August 16, 2023, 27-year-old Derashio Devonte Wilson and 23-year-old Lashanae Evelony Gee of Durham were charged with murder. On November 30, 2023, 21-year-old Julian Devonne Lunsford was also arrested and charged with murder in connection with the case. Ingram’s family has questioned why his body was not located until two days after the shooting and continues to seek answers as the investigation proceeds.

If anyone has information about the shooting or Ingram’s movements that night, please share what you know.
