RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Raleigh police made a second arrest Wednesday night after a shooting at Crabtree Valley Mall over the weekend.

They arrested Jamarion Burton, 22, of Durham. He was charged with a felony after opening fire outside the mall on Saturday and breaking the windows of nearly 20 cars.

“To do the ‘OK Corral’ in a public place, it takes some courage,” said Kerwin Pittman, a social justice advocate and former gang member from Raleigh. “What I realize about the field I’m in is that hurt people ‘hurt’ people. So what made this guy commit this shooting? What led him to this?”

The incident was described in detail in court Tuesday by prosecutors as an “OK Corral-style shootout between two rival gangs” at the first appearance of Jacquez Brown, 24, of Durham.

This is one of the first times we’ve heard of an incident being recognized as “gang related.”

“While we certainly welcome people here, we don’t want to see problems,” said Mayor Mary-Ann Baldwin. “It was unfortunate, apparently gang members from another community, decided to come to Raleigh to wreak havoc.”

He said it is not just external actors coming to the capital city to cause problems.

“We certainly have our own share of crime and drug incidents,” he said.

Baldwin highlighted new initiatives by the police department to prevent crime before it happens.

She promoted what is being done in and around the center, near Moore Square with private security.

“That’s the kind of thing we want to avoid, but that also requires the collaboration of all departments, the police, for example, how are we going to work together?” Mayor Baldwin said.

Pittman sees the job differently.

“Until we take it seriously as a whole and the city leaders take it seriously, and not just with words that say we have a problem and do more than just lock people up to address these problems, sadly it will continue to happen.” “, said. .

Kerwin said housing and mental health are crucial and emphasized that we cannot police our way out of the situation.

Crabtree said they have a number of measures in place to keep shoppers safe, including security officers and RPD.
