Channel 9′s Glenn Counts spoke with a neighbor who said this shooting has caused her to fear for her safety.
Seventy-three-year-old Melinda Montgomery said her fear stems not just from this incident, but from multiple others that have occurred at the complex.
“I don’t open the door. I come to my house, and I don’t go out. I fear for my life when I get ready to come out here. The first thing I do is stick my head out here. If I don’t see anything between here and there, I come out and run down the stairs,” Montgomery explained.
Anyone with information can call 704-432-TIPS or leave information anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or http://charlottecrimestoppers.com/.
