SUMMARY: A recent gunfight reminiscent of a cowboy showdown occurred outside Crabtree Valley Mall, according to Wake County’s district attorney. Jaquez Brown is in custody after allegedly shooting into a car occupied by a 13 and 15-year-old during a gang altercation. The DA reported over 20 vehicles were struck in this shootout among rival gangs on what was supposed to be a calm Saturday afternoon. Remarkably, no injuries were reported, but the incident put local residents at risk. Brown’s bond was increased from $20,000 to $200,000, and he is scheduled for his next court appearance on November 18.

A 24-year-old charged in a weekend shooting inside a Crabtree Valley Mall parking deck faced a judge for the first time on Monday.

In court, Wake County Assistant District Attorney Matt Lively said Jaquez Brown, 24, is facing charges for shooting into a car with a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old inside. At least 20 cars were hit by bullets, he said, although no one was injured.

Lively said the Saturday afternoon shooting in the Macy’s parking deck was the result of a fight between rival gangs, describing it as a “cowboy-style gunfight.”

“He put the safety of all the residents of Wake County at great risk basically with a cowboy-style gunfight at Crabtree mall,” Lively described in court.

A judge on Monday increased Brown’s bond to $200,000 plus electronic monitoring.

On Saturday around 1:35 p.m., Raleigh police officers responded to multiple shots fired in the parking deck behind the mall on Creedmoor Road.

Police told WRAL News there were no reported injuries.

SUMMARY: North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson has joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s executive order regarding birthright citizenship, calling it a violation of the 14th Amendment. He argues that the Constitution’s language is clear and not open to reinterpretation, and the order undermines rights for children born in the U.S. Other Democratic attorneys general from Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada are also involved in the lawsuit, despite their states voting Republican in the last presidential election. The case, filed in the U.S. District Court for Massachusetts, includes eighteen states as plaintiffs against Trump and various agency leaders.
