Raleigh teen charged in shooting near Triangle Town Center that left 1 dead, 1 injured

Police have arrested a 19-year-old man in a weekend shooting that left one man dead and another injured.

Octaevius Tiquan Bunn of Raleigh is charged with murder in the death of Markell Raekwon Hill, 22, who died after being taken to a hospital, police said.

Officers responded to the shooting at Village at Town Center apartments, just south of Triangle Town Center, in the 500 block of Stillcrest Way at about 11:05 a.m. Sunday.

The Police Department has not released additional details.

This is at least the city’s 21st homicide of 2019. Raleigh had 17 murders last year and 27 the year before that, according to the Police Department.

The Police Department has not yet responded to a request from The News & Observer made Monday for the total number of shootings — fatal and non-fatal — this year.

Police are asking anyone with information in Sunday’s shooting to call Raleigh CrimeStoppers at 919-834-HELP.
