A former young Hollywood actor is facing serious legal trouble after a shocking incident involving a firearm.

Ethan Jamieson, best known for his role as the District 4 tribute in The Hunger Games, has been arrested and charged with three felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill following an alleged shooting in Raleigh, North Carolina.

According to authorities, police responded to reports of gunfire. Investigators allege that Jamieson fired a shot from a 9mm semi-automatic handgun at a vehicle carrying three individuals.

The three alleged victims—identified in reports only by their initials—were inside the vehicle at the time. No fatalities were reported, but the seriousness of the charges reflects the alleged intent behind the attack.

Jamieson, 27, was taken into custody on April 8, 2026, and has since been denied bail, with a court hearing scheduled for later this month.

This marks his second run-in with the law in recent years. In March 2025, he was arrested for resisting a public officer, a charge for which he was sentenced just days before the alleged shooting incident.

Jamieson rose to fame as a child actor, appearing in The Hunger Games alongside stars like Jennifer Lawrence. He also had roles in television shows such as One Tree Hill and Justified, though he stepped away from acting in recent years.

The case has shocked fans, given his early connection to one of the biggest film franchises of the 2010s. As the legal process unfolds, more details about the incident and the events leading up to it are expected to emerge.
