CMPD says the shooting happened around 7:30 p.m. and when Medic arrived they pronounced Williams dead.

The endless cliches of the voice over by local reporter Jesse Pierre trying her best to add drama to the senseless killing:

"Another community shattered by gun violence, flashing blue lights and crime scene tape lining the block. Evidence markers placed where bullets landed. All of this a grim reminder of the violence that unfolded."

(She's of course an idiot. Evidence markers are placed at shell casings not bullets. Given the "letters" Williams didn't stand a chance).

A bouquet of flowers was placed where the gunfire erupted Tuesday evening the reporter goes on to say.

Wednesday, his loved ones remembering the friend they called Tre.

“Loving father, great friend and great person to be around,” Camari Simpson said  after setting the flowers down. "You could call him if you need anything."

A former teacher recalled Williams as kind.

"I do know he was one of the kids that always did the right thing and I know he loved his family very much," Jeremy Cox said.

News media in Charlotte is just god-awful.

Charloot's latest winner of a permanent "dirt nap" is Dontre Lamar Williams 24 who was gunned down on Milton Road Tuesday evening at the C-Store. It's had a 1/2 dozen names since 2000. This area of Charlotte near The Plaza between Eastway and WT Harris used to be solid middle class white it is now total hood which to this life long resident is amazing.

Despite my apparent callousness it really does trouble me. Nah who am I kidding? Charlotte City Council doesn't give a truck so why should you or I? CMPD won't even say his name after all crime is just a perception problem.

Williams was an alleged dealer and that Fast Mart was "his turf" he'd been arrested earlier this year and the charges were dismissed because that is what the standing order is in Mecklenburg County under the "Controlled Substance Policy". 

Meck DA  Mary Elledge requested the dismissal and it was agreed to by judge Mercer. William's blood is on their hands because incarceration saves lives. They are the reason this guy is dead.

Liberal democrat clowns on some affordable housing virtue signal bus tour turned Milton Road into Da Hood. In Five years the whole city will be like Memphis.

Charlotte City Council has been embracing density saturation for years as they allowed apartment developers unchecked to over build the apartment supply which led to lower housing costs which drove down property values. 

The white people who used to live in East Charlotte weren't stupid, they sold and moved to Cabarrus County.

Milton Road is like Crenshaw in LA (it has the same Latino - Black hood vibe). Stuck between LA proper and affluent Santa Monica Crenshaw was solid and safe white America then it saw a black migration in the 1970s and 1980s and with it white flight. "Boyz in the Hood" was filmed there.

Ditto to The Plaza and Milton Road migration and then white flight.

20 years ago Hidden Valley fell and then ten years later Milton Road was next.

Yeah this is personal not just because another young life wasted but because this hits home. Mrs Cedar used to live there when she was married to that Indy Football Coach who left Charlotte for Columbia because he too saw where things were headed. 

Charlotte City Council did it to the city they did it to us and they keep doing it.

Apartment vacancies went up, rent went down, crime went up. and white flight is fast. Charlotte's wedge of prosperity is rapidly disappearing. It used to be Eastway all the way to I-77. Then Independence to South Blvd. Now its Randolph to Park Road and even that's become a question mark. 

Mrs. Cedar's Indepence High School was once 90% white and totally middle class, now it's 43% Black, 29% White, 19% Asian, 6% Other. 

As for Williams he was an alleged dealer and that Fast Mart was "his turf" he'd been arrested earlier this year and the charges were dismissed because that is what the standing order is in Mecklenburg County under the "Controlled Substance Policy" by Meck DA  Mary Elledge and agreed to by judge Mercer. 

It's only a matter of time Charlotte will be like Memphis just without Elvis.

Y'all watch it happen but Elvis has left the building!
