On December 3, 2024, at about 8:45 p.m. officers from the Fayetteville Police Department responded to reports of a shooting in the 200 block of Lieber Street. Multiple people were found with gunshot wounds and taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center. Twenty-one-year-old Israel Chambliss was pronounced dead at the hospital; the conditions of the other injured individuals have not been disclosed.

Police say preliminary investigation indicates the shooting was not random and that two groups had arranged to meet at the location before shots were fired. The exact sequence of events and who fired first remain unclear. No arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the Homicide Unit continues to investigate under Detective B. Pleze, who is asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers or submit tips through the P3 Tips app.

A memorial page has been set up where friends and family have shared memories. Does anyone who was in the area that night or who knew Israel have information that could help investigators?
