Another South Charlotte Murder

South Charlotte proper, that area south of SouthPark, east of Pineville and west of Matthews has been rather insulated from violence, and homicides are very rare. That sense of security has disappeared. On Saturday Charlotte posted the 3rd murder since July, south of Pineville Matthews Road.

According to CMPD detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Homicide Unit are conducting a homicide investigation in the 12800 block of James Blakeney Avenue in the South Division.

On Friday, October 25, shortly before 12:00 a.m., South Division officers responded to an Accident with Injury call for service in the 12800 block of James Blakeney Ave. Upon arrival, officers discovered a male victim inside of a vehicle with an apparent gunshot wound. MEDIC pronounced the victim deceased on scene.

Homicide Unit detectives responded to the scene to conduct an investigation and Crime Scene Search responded to process the scene and collect physical evidence. Representatives from the CMPD’s Operations Command, Victim Services, the Charlotte Fire Department and MEDIC also assisted.

On August 13 police found Aryan Jaswal shot to death inside a vehicle.in the 14300 block of  Wynhollow Downs Lane. An unnamed 17 year old has been charged in this case.


The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department received a call on July 8 for a disabled car on Rea Road between Interstate 485 and Piper Glen Drive. There, they found the body of 36-year-old Derrick Byas.

The latest murder victim has not yet been named and no arrests have been reported.

  1. This murder is very concerning to me. I live on Providence Road and go to the mall. Why was that hood rat even over here?

    Is there a safer mall that is decent around Charlotte? What about the premium outlets by Arrowwood?

    1. Premium outlets…stay away if providence rd scares you. The new Outback looks like an audition for a Tarzan movie. Black Death has taken the city over fully. You gonna need to move to the other side of Monroe

    2. Decent mall? That’s funny! They all are childcare centers and shooting ranges. Won’t catch me or my family in any mall. Target rich environment, dense crowds, limited exits, recipe for killing fields. Nope, there is nothing I can’t get shipped to my house with the exception of the shitty food court offerings.

    3. 713 listen how you sound. It’s a fun place for people to buy things and enjoy life. They have events and laughs. Get help for your PTSD.

  3. Crime, thugs and murder have been all over town for years…. It’s just that south side crimes are not covered as intently. Your safety is your responsibility. Southpark Mall is lite every weekend with thugs on EM…. “Karens” would freak the fuck out if people saw the criminals moving around them

  4. Non CMPD here but former LE from NY State. I'm always surprised at the lack of communication from the department's PIO it should not be a 9-5 M-F gig but man it sure seems that's how CMPD rolls.

    Tell me I'm wrong.

    1. I haven’t been this scared since Cherica Adams was hunted and killed by white supremacists. My wife is carrying mace now, and keeps her phone unlocked to speed dial the police

    2. Or when Fred Lane was shot by that door to door salesman

    3. Cherica Adams Was not killed by white supremacists . She was pregnant and killed by Rae Carruth (Carolina Panthers Wide Receiver) her baby daddy, who hired a hit man, Van Bret Watkins , who was also black. He shot into her vehicle as she was driving. No white supremacists involved at all, all black!!! Get your facts right dipshit.
