" RALEIGH -- A man was shot and killed early this morning in the parking lot of the Carolina Ale House in North Raleigh’s Brier Creek area. Jason N. Wright, 27, was taken to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, where he was pronounced dead. Raleigh Police spokesman Jim Sughrue said the shooting, which occurred at about 2:15 a.m., does not appear to be a random act of violence. He said police have not yet determined where Wright was living. Detectives are looking to speak with anyone who was a patron at the restaurant, located at 7901 Brier Creek Parkway, or who was in the vicinity of the ale house around the time of the shooting. Persons with information should call Raleigh police's Detective Division at 919-996-3555 or Raleigh CrimeStoppers at 919-834-HELP. CrimeStoppers pays cash rewards for anonymous tips that help solve cases. Read more: http://www.newsobserver.com/2010/07/17/586113/man-killed-in-brier-creek-shooting.html#ixzz0u2keCJqr "

I've had problems at that place and a guy I used to work there got assaulted leaving that place. Is Brier Creek really still in Raleigh, I thought it was Morrisville.

7/18/2010 10:20:33 AM

was morrisville when i worked there, might have gotten stolen by raleigh since then

7/18/2010 10:22:12 AM

brier creek is definitely outside raleigh city limits. i doubt it's even in wake county b/c i drive by the "now entering durham county" sign when i go.

7/18/2010 10:35:26 AM

i think durham county starts just after it, right before you get to the page road extension

7/18/2010 10:36:17 AM

maybe the jurisdiction is hazy

in which case, the investigation will be probably be a clusterfuck of Raleigh/Morrisville/Durham police getting in each others' way

7/18/2010 10:50:58 AM

Parts of Brier Creek are in Raleigh city limits. I believe Carolina Ale House would be within the limits.

And wtf to a shooting at Brier Creek. Is no place sacred these days

7/18/2010 10:52:09 AM

Damn i was actually there Fri night (not that late though).

7/18/2010 10:59:42 AM

all of Brier Creek is in 27617 now, which is Raleigh. Where I work has had like 3 different cities in the last 10 years.

7/18/2010 11:14:52 AM

Brier Creek is the new hood, y'all.

7/18/2010 12:17:34 PM

I was in Briar Creek having dinner with a friend, and its def. NOT the hood with all of the yuppies, business folks, and stay at home moms who were out while I was shopping at the place.


Hate it for the guy's family and hope they find teh douche bag that shot him!

7/18/2010 12:26:22 PM

Brier Creek has always been the hood. All the new construction they've had in the last 10 years won't change that.

25 years ago, Capital Blvd. was practically a retirement community for old white people. The area didn't start getting run down until the 90s.

7/18/2010 12:33:18 PM

retirement communities attract the hood

7/18/2010 12:34:12 PM

yeah, well, even though that guy shot and murdered someone he is entitled to his piece

7/18/2010 12:35:59 PM

LOL at Brier Creek is the new hood. I'm surprised this happened, thats a pretty popular area where he got shot. Wild Wing Cafe and that mexican restaurant are both in the same parking lot, you would think there has to be some witnesses

makes it a little less surprising. probably got in an argument with an acquaintance or something (if that statement is actually true).

there are very few sober witnesses outside of a bar at 2:15 in the morning.

Didn't realize tobacco fields constituted the hood these days.

7/18/2010 1:16:04 PM

you people that don't think brier creek is in a shady area have never kept going west on 70. like i said in my original post, i've been hassled there with my ex-gf and my coworker was assaulted.

and how many home break-ins has brier creek had now? i know they had a huge string of them not too long ago.

[Edited on July 18, 2010 at 1:29 PM. Reason : .]

7/18/2010 1:29:05 PM

70 around Alexander Drive and beyond isn't considered Brier Creek now is it?

7/18/2010 1:34:40 PM

7/18/2010 1:36:13 PM

70 around alexander drive is where the ale house is isn't it? like right at the intersection?

(so its on the edge i guess)

[Edited on July 18, 2010 at 1:39 PM. Reason : .]

7/18/2010 1:38:30 PM

No that's Brier Creek Parkway or something. Alexander Drive is still a few minutes drive past that intersection.

7/18/2010 1:42:12 PM

there's no way in hell you'd catch me at a spot like that. Black women love my ass TOO much and I don't need some thug goin to his trunk because he thinks I stepped to his girl.

[Edited on July 18, 2010 at 2:02 PM. Reason : getting shot is #1 priority on my list of things not to do]

7/18/2010 2:02:11 PM

oh yea. it is like a little bit up from alexander. i think places off alexander call themselves brier creek though

i think brier creek country club is off alexander

brier creek is inching its way out down 70! but i don't think anything past that is brier creek/claims to be brier creek.

7/18/2010 2:17:09 PM

I know there are a ton of auto break-ins reported at brier creek every week.

7/18/2010 2:18:11 PM

HAHAH, I laughed like a mother fucker at 'Shadow-Run's response, hahahahahahaah

7/18/2010 2:28:26 PM

^ shut up. nobody cares what u laugh about

was it at where the club envy parties moved to?

7/18/2010 6:44:04 PM

no, it was at the corner of hargett & wilmington, between landmark and two t's

7/18/2010 6:46:06 PM

i thought two t's got shut down

7/18/2010 6:50:08 PM

nah

maybe now, though

7/18/2010 6:51:22 PM

Maybe i'm thinking of "Club Itallion" or whatever it was that was next door.

I was sitting at that light the other day and saw some "COMING SOON!" signage up.

7/18/2010 6:56:43 PM

yeah the upstairs place got nixed a while ago

Dude, whatever, you don't have an ass. It's like a dusty pancake back there.

7/18/2010 7:03:26 PM

All's I gotta say is the last time I was at Carolina Ale House, I got to see one hell of a fight with some brothas and some rednecks. Lots of blood, and lots of Raleigh PD up in dat joint.

About a year and a half ago, had a friend who got her tires slashed there, and I 'bout got into a nice little throwdown with a complete piece of shit.

Shit can happen there for sure.

7/18/2010 7:21:33 PM

^ Your friend had his tired slashed? Probably deserved it. And since he's your friend, what makes you think you weren't the complete piece of shit in that little scuffle?

7/18/2010 7:23:30 PM

Your reading comprehension sucks dog balls.

Maybe I was a complete piece of shit. The other guy, however, was a more complete piece of shit, lol...

7/18/2010 7:25:00 PM

^ But how do we know it's not the other way around?

7/18/2010 7:25:59 PM

Come to your own conclusions. Nothing I can do about that, sir. Carry on.

7/18/2010 7:26:25 PM

^ You are no fun!

7/18/2010 7:27:05 PM

Try drinking with me sometime. I'm even less fun then.

7/18/2010 7:27:32 PM

wait

shady shit happens at shitty chain bars on the county line

YOU'RE KIDDING

7/18/2010 7:28:31 PM

Hey look at me I hate chain restaurants too

7/18/2010 7:40:13 PM

Hey look at me
