WILMINGTON — Authorities have charged Zion Anthony Roland, 18, with assault using a deadly weapon with the intent to kill after a Memorial Day shooting.
An investigation revealed that Roland was involved in a verbal dispute with another man, during which Roland pulled out a gun and fired several rounds at the man. No one was injured, according to WPD Sergeant Leslie Irving.
The incident occurred on Monday, May 27 at 2:54 p.m. Officers responded to the intersection of 30th Street and Princess Place Drive after receiving a ShotSpotter notification of multiple rounds fired, according to Irving. Upon arrival, the officers found several shell casings in the roadway but no victims or property damage.
Roland was arrested Saturday in the area of Mosley Street, which runs directly north of Princess Place Drive, after a WPD officer identified the suspect.
