Two men died in the violence on Democracy Street, in the Renaissance Park neighborhood off Tryon Road, and a Raleigh police officer remained hospitalized after the shooting. A large police truck with a ram attached to its front end remained in the alley on the street’s 600 block, where the garage door was smashed in.

Antonio Rodrigues, a suspect in the fatal shooting of 73-year-old John Rowe and a Raleigh police officer, had a long history of stalking convictions and was under probation at the time of the incident.
