CHARLOTTE — One person has died and two others have been hurt following shootings in northeast Charlotte late Thursday night, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Just before 10 p.m., police received a call regarding a man with a gunshot wound on the 110 block of Tom Hunter Road. That man, later identified as Derrick Answon Baker, died at the scene.
Shortly after, police said they received another call regarding a second person with gunshot wounds as well on the 6700 block of North Tryon Street. That juvenile victim was taken to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Just before 11:30 p.m., a third person also arrived at the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
CMPD said they are working to determine if the three shootings are related.
“It’s a very complex scene. We are fortunate that there are cameras at so many businesses. DOT cameras were checking as well,” said Major Ryan Butler.
Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a homicide unit detective.
