Marine Killed in Raleigh Parking Deck | Raleigh News

A Marine sergeant was fatally shot in a parking garage in Raleigh last year, and the suspect—Spencer Charles Wrightington—has now pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter. Initially claiming the victim pulled the trigger, Wrightington later admitted he was holding the gun when it discharged. His shifting story and insistence on being sent to jail raised red flags. Originally charged with second-degree murder, he now faces 18 months to 2 years and 9 months in prison, minus 111 days already served. Upon release, he’ll be required to attend Alcoholics Anonymous three times weekly, get a sponsor, and undergo substance abuse treatment—a sobering conclusion for the family of Sergeant Christian Oldham.
