An actor who played a role in the “Hunger Games” trilogy was arrested in Raleigh last week after police said he fired a gunshot at a vehicle while riding an e-bike last month.
Ethan Brody Jamieson, 27, is charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill for allegedly assaulting three people with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, court records show.
On March 22, just before 10 p.m., Raleigh police say they responded to a report of shots fired at 2700 Wakefield Plantation Drive. A victim told police that someone riding an e-bike had fired a gun at their car while they were driving. Two passengers were also in the car at the time.
Detectives later identified Jamieson as the suspect. Police issued a warrant last Wednesday, and he was arrested the following day.
Jamieson played a young tribute from District 4 in the first “Hunger Games” movie in 2012. According to IMDB, his last screen appearance was in 2013.
This isn’t the actor’s first offense.
He was also charged in March 2025 with resisting a public officer and spent four days in Wake County jail, court records show. Court documents state he ran away from police after an officer was “discharging and attempting to discharge an official duty by investigating an assault by point a gun.”
Jamieson is being held without bail at the Wake County Detention Center, according to court documents. He had a first appearance hearing on April 9, and his next court appearance will be on April 30th at 2 p.m.
