FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – Another suspect has been named in the Fayetteville State University shooting that left one student injured. 

Rayshawn Vredenburg, 18, is said to have been involved. His charges include attempted first degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and robbery with a dangerous weapon.

The shooting happened near Murchison Road and Coley Drive Monday night.

Suspect Codondrea Purdie, 24, told police the shooting was an accident that happened when he and Lavonte Carter, 20, were struggling over the gun. Purdie also alleges that Carter set him up to be robbed during a drug deal.
