None of the five people inside a house in the 700 block of Maple Street were injured and the case is not believed to be tied to one last Thursday in the 700 block of Elm Street in which a nearly 2-year-old child died, Chief James Avens said. That case remains under investigation.

About 20 shots were fired in the Tuesday night shooting, where windows and doors were damaged, the chief said.

Warrants have been obtained for the arrests of Raheem Scott and Khevon Weaver, 20-year-old men who frequent the Weldon and Garysburg areas.

They are currently wanted on five counts of assault with a deadly with intent to kill and one count of shooting into an occupied dwelling. The five assault counts reflect the number of people in the residence at the time.

Avens declined to immediately discuss motive as investigation continues and more charges are possible. He declined to say what type of weapon or weapons were used and said investigation is ongoing to determine whether both men allegedly fired shots.

He said in a statement early information shows the drive-by was not a random act and the house was the intended target.

The men were on a white small or midsized car.

They are considered armed and dangerous and have been entered to national criminal databases.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444 or the police department at 252-536-3136.
