CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tangi Davis can still hear echoes from a barrage of gunfire outside her uptown Charlotte apartment one year ago.
About 100 rounds were fired striking apartments, including the one she rents.

No injuries were reported, and even the intended target, a rapper known as Young Dolph, was not shot.
Law enforcement talks security at bars ahead of CIAA Tournament
He was in a bulletproof vehicle and was in town for the CIAA Tournament.
Young Dolph, whose given name is Adolph Thornton, has since cashed in on his narrow escape by releasing an album called "Bulletproof" and going on national radio to talk about it.
There is a rap song called “100 shots” that directly refers to the incident.
He's planning a return to Charlotte next week during the CIAA Tournament for an appearance next Saturday night at an adult club near Interstate 85.
Davis doesn't think that's a good idea.
“The fact that he never apologized for what went on as an artist, and then to come back to the city, I think that's really bad,” Davis said.
After last year's shooting, the city began requiring anyone organizing private parties during the CIAA Tournament weekend to register with police, but Young Dolph's appearance at the club doesn't fall into that category.
City councilman Smuggie Mitchell helped draft that new plan and says he hopes the club owners will do the right thing.
“We're going to put the responsibility on that club owner to make sure CMPD is aware, and more importantly, to have their own security,” Mitchell said.
Celebrities expected to be in Charlotte next week include Cardi B, Lil Wayne', Doug E. Fresh', Odell Beckham Jr. and Michael Vick.
CMPD officials do not anticipate any issues with the CIAA Tournament and the Rev. Billy Graham's funeral happening during the same week because the locations are several miles apart from each other.
