Officers with the Raleigh Police Department responded after shots were fired at 9:52 p.m. ET on March 22, according to E! Online. According to Raleigh Police Department spokesperson Lt. David Davis, one victim said that the suspect, who was riding an e-bike, fired a shot at their vehicle as they were driving.
Police added that two other people were inside the vehicle at the time of the alleged shooting, according to People.
TMZ was the first outlet to report Jamieson’s arrest.
Jamieson made his acting debut as “Kid No. 2″ in a 2009 episode of the television series “One Tree Hill,” Us Weekly reported.
In 2010, Jamieson appeared in the television movie “The Rusty Bucket Kids: Lincoln, Journey to 16.”
His “Hunger Games” character was killed early in the film, but Jamieson told Lancaster Online in a March 2012 interview that he was surprised that the movie did so well.
“I knew that the books (by Suzanne Collins) were popular, but I didn’t know that the movie was going to be so big,” he told the news outlet.
He added that while attending the movie’s red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, he was swamped by autograph seekers who recognized him.
“I thought that was pretty awesome,” Jamieson told Lancaster Online.
On April 9, Jamieson was denied bail, court records show. His next court appearance will be a disposition hearing on April 30.
