Authorities in Fayetteville are investigating a Dickson Street shooting that injured six people early Sunday morning along West Avenue between Watson and Dickson streets. Officers were called to the scene at approximately 1:41 a.m., and the investigation remained active while police worked in the area.
Stephen Mauk of the Fayetteville Police Department gave the reported response time. West Avenue was shut down between Watson and Dickson streets as investigators stayed on scene and continued gathering details.
West Avenue in Fayetteville
The shooting happened in the area between Watson and Dickson streets, placing the response in a stretch of West Avenue that was closed while police worked. That shutdown affected the block where officers were focusing their investigation and kept the scene controlled as they assessed what happened.
Police have not disclosed the identities or ages of the six injured people. They also have not made public what led to the gunfire, leaving the cause outside the current public record even as investigators continued to examine the scene.

Mauk’s reported time gives the clearest marker for when the response began: approximately 1:41 a.m. on Sunday. From there, the investigation stayed active through the morning, with police maintaining their work along West Avenue and keeping the roadway closed between Watson and Dickson streets.
For people in the area, the immediate practical fact is simple: the scene was still under police control after the shooting, and the most important unanswered question is what caused it. Until investigators release more detail, the public record ends at the injury count, the location, and the early-morning response.
