An investigation revealed that the person died on East 12th Street near North Davidson Street.
Police said the motive for this shooting is unknown at this time. They also expressed their frustration that homicides are on the rise in Charlotte.
“Our community does not tolerate this activity, and it is unfortunate that people are resolving issues with gunfire that are then turning into homicides that have real victims behind the scenes. It’s not just the person dead, but it is the person’s family, their children, their friends,” said Major Bret Balamucki.
