Just after 12 Noon, CMPD patrol units, Charlotte Fire and Medic converged on what is a shut down Baymont Inn. CMPD has listed this as a "Death Investigation" meaning there are no outward signs of foul play.
On Friday, June 6, at approximately 12 p.m., officers responded to an assist MEDIC call for service in the 5000 block of Equipment Drive. Upon arrival, officers discovered two subjects who were pronounced on the scene.
Homicide Unit detectives responded to the scene to conduct an investigation. Crime Scene Search responded to process the scene and collect physical evidence. Representatives from CMPD’s Operations Command and MEDIC also responded to assist.
Equipment drive is a seedy area that is an access road along Interstate 85. The former Baymont hotel has seen a difficult history so this is this is complicated.
It is not clear if the deceased were discovered in a room or just on the property but they have been described as a woman and infant child.
More as details emerge.
Cedar's Take:
When you say Homicide in University City it presents a conflict of terms.
Such a wonderful name that says hope and promise of the future for things to come. But the area is the freaking pit of despair. The shit hole needs a better name to reflect it's hood status.
Da Creek is good, Da Ford is better. University City needs a hood name that echos the reality of the homelessness, the traffic, the blight, the low rent apartments, extended stay hotels, crime and endless parade of patrol vehicles. Never mind that it is named for the UNCC Campus that sits just to the north.
We need a new name that reflects the reality of life and death on our city's lowest rung of the ladder.
All great cities have famous hoods.
LA - Skid Row
New York - Harlem
Chicago - South Side
Philadelphia - North Philly
Miami - Overtown
LA - Compton - LA
New Jersey - Patterson
Greenville, SC - Woodside
Spartanburg, SC - Washington Avenue
Atlanta - Hopkins Street
We need a name that fits but not University City. But it may be too late because today in Charlotte if someone says University, and you automatically think crime.
Pshshshshsh..UC has open businesses. There are limited homeless people and a school.
