AceShowbiz - Ethan Jamieson, known for his role in the 2012 film The Hunger Games, was taken into custody in Raleigh, North Carolina, facing serious assault charges. The 27-year-old actor was arrested on March 22 following an incident involving gunfire reported to local authorities.

A spokesperson for the Raleigh Police Department detailed that officers responded to a call about shots fired at approximately 9:52 p.m. Upon arrival, the police found a victim who stated that an unknown suspect on an e-bike had fired a gunshot at their vehicle while driving. Two other passengers were also inside the vehicle during the incident.

After investigation, detectives identified Jamieson as the person who had fired a single shot toward the victims' car. He now faces three counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. His next court appearance is scheduled for April 30.

This arrest marks Jamieson's second within the past year; records show he was previously booked on March 21, 2025, on charges of resisting a public officer. A representative for Jamieson has not yet responded to requests for comment.

Fans of The Hunger Games will remember Jamieson as the male tribute from District 4 who was killed during the deadly Cornucopia scene on the first day of the 74th Hunger Games. The film starred Jennifer Lawrence alongside cast members like Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Elizabeth Banks, Amandla Stenberg, and Liam Hemsworth.

At the time of the film’s release, Jamieson told LancasterOnline that although he was aware of the books’ popularity, he did not expect the movie to achieve such massive success. He also recalled feeling thrilled when fans asked for his autograph at the premiere, calling the experience “pretty awesome.”

In addition to The Hunger Games, Jamieson has credits in television and film projects such as One Tree Hill, The Rusty Bucket Kids: Lincoln, Journey to 16, and Justified. The outcome of his upcoming court case remains to be seen.
