WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Damage remains along the 2800 block of Thomasville Rd. following a late-night shooting that caused a car to crash into a home.
The crash happened around 1:00 a.m. Monday morning.
According to police, the victims said they were driving in the area and tried to pass another car that was stopped on Thomasville Rd. when their car was shot at. The driver lost control and crashed into a house.
While out in the neighborhood Monday, WFMY News 2 counted at least four homes with bullet holes and saw a chunk of siding ripped off of the house that the car crashed into.
Neighbors who live close by say they heard several shots from multiple guns, with some of the evidence landing in their front yard.
"We had a couple of shells up here, but you know we did we're fine. We are fine. God looked after us and we are fine, to the message to the ones that did it, you better get right," said neighbor, Mary Poplin.
Gilbert and Mary Poplin have lived in the area for decades.
They say they first noticed gun related violence over a year ago, and now they're calling for the community to band together.
"I told my neighbors when we were talking, that we need to be talking to each other instead of ignoring each other. Show love instead of this hatred stuff because we need to be showing love and looking out for each other," said Gilbert Poplin.
The crash happened around 1:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Officials confirm four people were inside the car that hit the house, including Isiah Patterson, Cheyenee Brinkley, a 17-year-old, and a three-month-old.
Brinkley and the 17-year-old had gunshot wounds. They went to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Patterson and the 3-month-old were not hurt. Nobody inside the home was hurt.
This investigation is ongoing.
