Once again a person has been shot in uptown during the small hours of the morning.
According to CMPD this was the fifth uptown shooting in past two months.
Witnesses said they heard up to five gunshots, then saw a man get shot in the back at about 4 a.m., according to a local television news station.
The shooting happened on North College Street near Sixth Street, in an area with hotels, restaurants and nightclubs.
Paramedics said the victim had life-threatening injuries. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has not publicly identified a victim or suspect in this case.
Earlier this month, officers found a man shot in a parking lot near the Spectrum Center — a couple blocks over from Thursday’s shooting.
He died at the hospital more than a week later. Police have charged a suspect with murder, intent to kill inflicting serious injury, and discharging a firearm in the city limits.
Another man was shot in the leg near the VUE apartments on West Fifth Street in uptown at about 7:30 a.m. on June 5.
Another man was shot and killed in uptown near Truist Field in late May.
Officers chased the suspect to Charlotte Douglas International Airport, where police said he was arrested and charged with 1st-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
In April, two people were injured after a mid-day shooting in uptown’s Romare Bearden Park. Police quickly detained a suspect.
As of May 31, CMPD had recorded a total of 31 homicides in Charlotte this year.
Sure takes the bang out of going Uptown in Charloot.
The Epicenters demise was the last straw for the professional crowds. Plus, CoVid destroyed all small shops and bars in the area. An influx of bums moved to Charlotte during the housing crisis, and they stay around uptown. Most party goers hit up southend for their cocaine and pussy, now. It’s really just blacks around there and things can go bannanas real quickly.
ReplyDeleteI worked Uptown for a decade enjoying my fairly strong Duke Energy paycheck, long lunches at the French Quarter or Randolph Scott's there was a smallish place across the street called St. Louis Spirits awesome burgers. Green's Hots Dogs. And the walk was easy unhurried and safe.
ReplyDeleteToday there's no way I'd walk Church Street even at lunch. The place is crawling with young thugs just hanging out with panhandlers and crackheads.
Sure Knights games were fun but the beer is over priced and even if you park across the street with all the cops hanging out your car is likely to be broken into even during the day games. Not for me I'm just too old now.
There’s too much affordable housing around there. Too many negros and esses.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Ford this weekend. CMPD better bring their A Game they'll be wilding all week long. Check the facebook posts.
ReplyDeleteIt’s been a rag tag crew over there for years. You fuk up, you go there
DeleteThe Ford? Psshhhssh…the cops cant even show up to work in that place. Vieth has the answers to the Beatties Ford Massicre but won’t say names. Mike Blee was pushing him to reveal so Captain forced him to work 3rd shift until dismissal.
ReplyDeleteHaha, MSM just made a story about this with a 50k reward. Maybe someone will snitch for the money? I was out there and situation was cray cray
DeleteFord been quite. Over on Indy someone grabbed at a pussy and found a dick. Homeboy sobered up fast then lost his mind. Shot the tranny dead.
ReplyDeleteOnly in Mecklenburg
DeleteThe rain should keep them inside on BFR. Rain is bad for their hair, but bald blacks could be an interesting factor.
ReplyDeleteJuneteenth a made up holiday that serves no purpose. Charlotte needs to ban the event and the holiday.
ReplyDeleteRain the best police action we could ask for when it comes to dealing with the noogies.
