More than a week ago Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to a call for service at Turquoise Drive in CMPD's Hickory Grove Division around 6 a.m. on Friday January 19th.
Since then police have released the name of the woman who was shot and killed as Diana Perez-Barrera ago 26.
According to CMPD she was pronounced dead at the scene when police arrived.
A CMPD incident report said the unknown male suspect who shot Perez-Barrera demanded money and moved her and another victim, a 21-year-old man, around the home at gunpoint.
The suspect shot Perez-Barrera, kidnapped and transported the male victim in the male victim’s vehicle, took him to a second location on Rozzelles Ferry Road, where he “committed other incidents” and stole the male victim’s vehicle, the report said.
CMPD Crime Scene Investigations was videotaped at 7921 Turquoise Drive which is off Plott Road near Plaza Road Extension.

The home is owned by Hanh T. Vo. Neighbors say it is rental property owned by Vo since for at least 8 years.
According to a police report, the victims did not know the suspect. The area while not immune to crime is not really a hotspot for criminal activity. Most the homes in the area are modest single family older homes with kids playing in the street and well cared for yards.
CMPD spokesperson Michael Allinger said Monday that while the male victim was originally reported as being kidnapped, he is not currently missing. The investigation is active and ongoing.

Cedar's Take: Something is just off.
First no description of the suspect.
Second this murder has zero media interest. With no more than 3 column inches given in the local paper and nothing more than a 30 second sound bite on WCNC and other television news outlets.
Third this is a "home invasion" a random act of extreme violence and the perp has not be arrested or identified.
Fourth nothing further on the victim. 165 candles on Gun Violence yet no obituary no gofundme or memorial page.
My guess is vic No. 2 is actually the perp. Sometimes these things take time.
ReplyDeleteYes why is there no coverage? It was like oh Latina no one cares.
ReplyDeleteRIP Diana
ReplyDeleteNo news coverage. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteWho gonna solve it? Who gonna step up?
ReplyDeleteFirst, there is only a fake clt media. The paper is beyond dead. And the tv news only reports black crime to show how Charlotte has failed its citizens and white crime as a vestige to the old ‘if it bleeds it leads’. Nothing random about this. Homie was slinging weed, got robbed, tried to stand up for himself, his girl got shot, he gave up his stash. I’m sure he will be dead when the gang he owes that $ to finds him. No need to put his hand on blast. Hahn Vo needs a deep detail on that place, and he will have it rented out by St Patrick Day.
