Sometimes you just can't get your head around the crime in Charlotte.
According to CMPD they have arrested a person in connection with a fatal shooting in University City on Wednesday morning.
CMPD officers were called to an apartment complex at University Village Boulevard, where they found a male victim who had been shot at around 11 a.m.
Investigators say the victim, 28-year-old Cordarrius Donquay Harris, died from his injuries.
Donquay was a repeat felon with more that his fair share of arrests and convictions. He was facing a dozen charges on no less than two arrests made during the last year.

On Thursday CMPD said 19-year-old Rohan Viresh Taskar was charged with voluntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, obstruction of justice, and misdemeanor breaking and entering.

Mecklenburg County DA Spencer Merriweather dismissed the Huntersville drug and weapons charges earlier this year.
Takar was convicted by an Iredell County court in 2021 of speeding to elude arrest resulting in a motor vehicle death. Then he convicted in June on this year of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon in Mecklenburg County. In both case he was given probation.
On Thursday a Mecklenburg County judge set his bond at $10,000.00.
Cedar's Take: Kill two people inside 24 months, violate your probation, rack up a bunch of other charges and the Mecklenburg DA and Judges come up with minimal charges and your bond laughable.
It may be that the reason for the voluntary manslaughter charge is that the victim and the shooter are connected. Perhaps both climbing in a window when there was an accidental discharge. Since it was during the B&E it was not murder rather voluntary manslaughter and that would explain the odd additional charges of B&E and Obstruction.
Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
Have you ever thought that these men may be victims of a broken system and invisible barriers? Open your eyes and wake up.
ReplyDeleteHuh?
DeleteNo...never did think that. FO.
DeleteOh, those barriers are completely visible. CMS had a strong Black man lead its way until the city forced a coup. POC absolutely know their boundaries in this town and crime is one of the few ways out and up.
DeleteCharlotte goes as their voters go. You need to see this is part of greater social change.
ReplyDeleteSeems to me Harris needed killing. As for Taskar next time he'll get his. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteMeck DA is a total POS
ReplyDeleteCedar I think you are right there's more to this than the local press has caught on to.
ReplyDeleteHere's the details as I've been told: Subject 1 entered the property via a window and instructed subject 2 to also enter via the window. Subject 2 was armed and as he attempted to enter the property he slipped and the weapon discharged striking subject 1. Subject one died at the scene and Subject 2 was detained by responding CMPD officers.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine. Why am I not surprised.
