Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Homicide Unit are conducting a homicide investigation in the 1100 block of Oaklawn Avenue in the Metro Division.
On Wednesday, October 23, 2024, shortly after 3:45 p.m., Metro Division officers responded to an Assault with a Deadly Weapon with injury call for service in the 1100 block of Oaklawn Avenue. Upon arrival, officers located a male victim with an apparent gunshot wound. The Charlotte Fire Department and MEDIC also responded to the scene. The victim was pronounced deceased.
Homicide Unit detectives responded to the scene to conduct an investigation and members of Crime Scene Search responded to process the scene and collect physical evidence. Representatives from CMPD’s Operations Command, Victim Services, the Charlotte Fire Department and MEDIC also assisted.
The victim in this case has been identified as Carlos Leiva, 25. The victim’s next of kin has been notified of his death.
Most of our homicide victims are barely “victims” and dirtbags to begin with.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this vehicle involved in a shots fired call elsewhere before it was found burning? Not sure this was a "victim"
ReplyDeleteNow 6:40 you know they are shining members of the community, aspiring rap artists and or athlete’s that had just turned their lives around.
ReplyDeleteYou got it. A future Da baby or maybe a high bishop. We can’t give up on our kids
DeleteI'm interested in why the news media doesn't spill that Carlos was a illegal from Peru?
ReplyDeleteBring on the Purge!! Just let them keep killing each other. A lot cheaper than chasing them down and locking them up! Efficient and cost effective. Let the ‘hood handle it.
ReplyDeleteNo Bueno
ReplyDeleteIs this Tren de Kamala in Charlotte already? Or another Hispanic street gang running wild on the streets?
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait for Tren to take over one of the Friedlam slum apartments in town. Charlotte has what’s coming to them
