Update: The Chapel Hill Police Department arrested two individuals Thursday evening following an investigation into gunfire at the 200 block of North Roberson Street Wednesday morning.

40-year-old Kenneth Antwaine Perry and 27-year-old Ebony Montrice Wade, both Chapel Hill residents, each face multiple charges. Perry is charged with attempted first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, assault by pointing a gun and discharging a firearm within city limits. Police say he is being held at the Orange County Detention Center without bond and is expected to make a first appearance in court tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Wade is charged with felony conspiracy and accessory after the fact. Police say she is being held at the detention center under a $250,000 secured bond. She is expected to appear in court tomorrow at 2 p.m.

The Chapel Hill Police Department is investigating reports of shots fired at the edge of the Northside neighborhood early Wednesday morning.

An alert from the town said officers responded to a call about gunfire in the 200 block of North Roberson Street around 6:45 a.m. Their initial investigation led to the belief someone fired the gunshots at two men before leaving the area. No one was injured, according to police.
