23-Year-Old Andrew Graney Arrested and Charged in Connection with Multiple Shootings Around I-40 and Southwest Raleigh
A 23-year-old man was arrested and charged early Friday morning following a series of shootings in southwest Raleigh that had kept the area on high alert throughout the week.
The suspect, identified as Andrew Thomas Graney, now faces multiple felony charges, including one count of assault with a deadly weapon and 11 counts of discharging a firearm into occupied dwellings or vehicles.
The incidents reportedly occurred between Monday and Thursday, sparking community concern and police investigation.
On Thursday afternoon, Raleigh police concentrated their efforts on a neighborhood along Kentford Court, with over two dozen officers arriving to make the arrest.
Authorities detained Graney, along with another man who was subsequently released without charges. Officials have not disclosed the methods they used to identify Graney as a suspect.
The extensive police presence surprised local residents, who witnessed the two men being escorted from a nearby home.
The location of the incident also prompted North Carolina State University to issue a WolfAlert to notify students and staff, as the neighborhood is close to NC State’s Centennial Campus.
The repeated shootings around the I-40 corridor and southwest Raleigh had already been concerning students, including Maria Smith, who expressed heightened worries about campus safety in light of the events.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to determine the motive and details surrounding Graneyโs alleged involvement in the shootings.
