Winston-Salem police investigate 3 shootings in 24 hours over Memorial Day weekend
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — Winston-Salem police are investigating three separate shootings that happened over the Memorial Day weekend, including one that turned deadly. A spokesperson with the Winston-Salem Police Department said they do not see this as a spike in violence, and that aggravated assaults and homicides are actually down this year. Still, investigators are working to figure out who's responsible for these three shootings that happened over 24 hours. It started Saturday around 1:30 p.m., when Winston-Salem police officers were called to a shooting in the 2700 block of Piedmont Circle. Arriving officers found 32-year-old Alex Devonte Saunders with multiple gunshot wounds. He died at the scene. A few hours later, another call came in about a shooting victim near Duffer Lane and Grandview Club Road. An 18-year-old had been shot in the torso. Officers traced the crime scene back to Niblick Drive. He was rushed to the hospital and is in critical, but stable condition. On Sunday around 1:30 a.m., Winston-Salem police officers responded to a third shooting in Kernersville on Pecan Lane. A 53-year-old man was found with multiple gunshot wounds. He remains hospitalized in critical condition. Winston-Salem police said they track trends over time, and they say they'd need more data than just a single weekend to call this a trend.
