A late-night shooting at a Spring Lake sports bar left one young man dead. Just after 2:20 a.m. on August 26, 2024, officers responded to reports of a fight involving firearms at 303 Spring Avenue. Three people were found with gunshot wounds and taken to a local hospital. Among them was 21-year-old Jahkhari Hurley, who died of his injuries on August 28, 2024.

Police have opened a homicide investigation but have not made any arrests or identified suspects. The identities and conditions of the two other victims were not released. An obituary in Fayetteville notes funeral services were held for Hurley and the community has been left grieving.
