~IN LOVING MEMORY OF DUNN DEAL~

RALEIGH - A Saturday evening drive-by shooting left one young man dead, three others wounded and a neighborhood in shock. As people hung out in front of their homes on Beauty Avenue about 7:40 p.m., multiple shots rang out from at least one passing vehicle.At the scene, police found one man dead and three other young men with injuries that are not life-threatening, said Raleigh police spokesman Jim Sughrue.The shooting took place about two miles outside of downtown Raleigh, near the intersection of Beauty Avenue and Merrywood Drive. The area is between Rock Quarry Road on the west and South Raleigh Boulevard on the east.Investigators would not speculate on a motive, but several neighbors -- who didn't give their names out of fear of being identified -- described the shootings as unprovoked as vehicles passed through the neighborhood.Sughrue said multiple vehicles were thought to be involved, with shots being fired from at least one vehicle, a white pickup.One neighbor compared the sounds to those of firecrackers. But screams and panic soon brought people racing out of their homes.After police arrived, several people wept as they saw the body of the victim on the street, covered by a white sheet. Other people prayed for deliverance from the violence.Police said they hope residents will come forward with information because so many people were outside and the shooting took place during daylight.Sughrue said officers had identified the man who was killed as Jamel Jefferys, 19, of 1504 Beauty Ave. One man said Jefferys was a good guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He said Jefferys often could be seen walking his dogs in the neighborhood.The other three victims -- Deron Signal, 24; Antwyon Hill, 22, and Jeremiah White, 19 -- were taken to WakeMed Raleigh Campus for treatment.The shooting punctuated a violent week in Raleigh
