CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department declared a double shooting at a southeast Charlotte apartment justified months after a man died.
According to CMPD, officers responded to reports of a shooting around 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 25 at a complex along Creekridge Road, off Village Lake Drive and Independence Boulevard.

When officers arrived, they found a witness and evidence of a shooting, but no one at that scene was injured.
A short time later, officers learned that two people arrived at a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds. One of the men, 33-year-old Jonathan Robinson, was pronounced dead by hospital staff.
The other man, 39-year-old Jamell Robinson, was not seriously injured.
The two men are brothers, police said.
Months later, CMPD declared the shooting as a “justified homicide,” but did not give an explanation why.
Authorities said the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the case and agreed with CMPD’s decision to not charge anyone.
No other information has been released.
