Police said there was no evidence that the victim's apartment was targeted.

Two other apartments and an unoccupied vehicle were also struck. One other damaged apartment was occupied, but no one was injured.

“It appears it was a light-colored sedan coming down Cole Road firing indiscriminately,” said Dorn, who was on the scene around 8:30 p.m. “The shots were fired from the moving vehicle.”

“There’s been quite a bit of shootings, discharging of firearms in this area,” he said. “We’re not sure if it’s gang-related.”

This is the 13th homicide this year, compared to 12 at this time last year.

A 5-year-old boy died after a bullet traveled into his apartment and struck him in the head Saturday evening, according to the Winston-Salem Police Department.
