Slain son of local deputy is Charlotte's 100th homicide victim of 2019

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are investigating the city's 100th homicide of the year after a man was shot Monday night in University City.

Police said they responded to a shots-fired call just before 10 p.m. at a shopping center on University City Boulevard near East W.T. Harris Boulevard. When they got there, they found evidence of a shooting, but no victim.

A short time later, police said 19-year-old Nathaniel Isenhour showed up to Atrium Health University City Hospital with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Atrium Health’s Carolinas Medical Center, where he died Tuesday morning.

Channel 9 learned Isenhour is the son of a Cabarrus County deputy.

21-year-old Chandler Terry told Channel 9 he didn't know Isenhour, but he wants the violence to stop.

"It hurts my heart," Terry said. "I get sad over these things he’s my age a little younger."

Mount Pleasant High School Football's Twitter account posted a heartfelt message about Isenhour's death on Tuesday.

Jovana Cameron lives near the scene. She said she heard gunshots early Tuesday morning, but those were connected to another shooting.

Police said a security guard was killed during a shooting at the La Casa arcade, just hours after Isenhour was shot. Detectives are now investigating two homicides in Charlotte in a span of 24 hours.

"I just want us to get better Charlotte, this is too much," Cameron said.

No arrests have been made in either shooting.
