CMPD PIO last night:
Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Homicide Unit are conducting a homicide investigation in the 4000 block of North Graham Street in the North Tryon Division.
On Saturday, May 24, shortly before 8:30 p.m., officers responded to an Assault with a Deadly Weapon call for service in the 4000 block of North Graham Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered a victim with a gunshot wound. MEDIC transported the victim to a local hospital where they were pronounced deceased.
CMPD said it's still working to figure out a motive behind the shooting, and stated that the fact the shooting unfolded in one location while the victims drove to another initially complicated the investigation. However, officers said they were able to find evidence in the initial area along Reagan Drive.
This homicide follows an "Assault with a Deadly Weapon" investigation in the 1800 block of Stroud Park Court in the Metro Division on Friday.
Again from CMPD PIO:
On Friday, May 23, shortly before 5:30 p.m., officers responded to a call for service in the 1800 block of Stroud Park Court. Upon arrival, officers discovered three victims with gunshot wounds.
All three were transported to area hospitals. Two suffered life-threatening injuries while the third sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
A suspect was arrested shortly after and there is currently no search for additional suspects in this case.
Charloot is well on the way to another 100 murders in 2025.
Officially CMPD reported 111 Homicides in 2024 compared to 89 in 2023. But numbers are just lies that look like facts.
Look at the CMPD numbers for violent crimes: 7,413 offenses in 2024 compared to 7,215 offenses in 2023. A 2.67% in violent crime, which is not bad.
But the first quarter spin was:
In the first quarter of 2025, Charlotte, NC experienced a significant decrease in violent crime, including a reduction in homicides. Specifically, there were 20 homicides in the first quarter of 2025, compared to 32 in the first quarter of 2024, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD). This marked a 17% drop in violent crime rates overall.
Sadly the illusion of a safer Charlotte didn't last long. Since March 31, 2025 another 23 bodies have hit the floor. At this rate the 2nd Quarter will have 38 homicides on the books and that's a 90% increase over the prior quarter.
"Cooking the books is nothing new at CMPD. Dumbing down arrests, inflating reports and dismissing facts.
Moreover, a 2.67% drop in reported crime doesn't support a 17% drop in violent crime.
Charlotte Government lacks transparency.
It doesn't matter if it is closed door payoffs to the police chief, federal indictments, no bid contracts, outside consulting agreements, CMPD reserves, secondary jobs or promotions that seem to be based on DEI protocol.
It's time to clean house in Charlotte.
Chill Cedar. Come smoke a blunt with us in North Division.
ReplyDeleteSeriously the last time I smoked weed I was in Aspen and I got so stoned my teeth were numb and was all John Hancock's fault.
Delete1111, more like come to North and take some shots with us before roll call.
DeleteDon’t worry. North has B Jackson now. They’re fine
DeleteNot anymore. She came to work drunk, as if there weren’t 500 other things she should’ve been fired for already. But that’s racist.
DeleteI should add a) it's legal in Colorado, b) it was my niece's wedding c) it was 2016 d) the last shots I did was for COVID and it nearly killed me.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone seen the CharLitt posted video of CLTCC Member threatening a Baymont hotel staffer? Cedar have you seen it? Wonder who the CMPD officer she's referring to?
ReplyDeleteJJ quit! See ya!
ReplyDeleteNow get the other DCs to leave, too
DeleteNeed to clean house farther than that. Bunch of retards running this place
DeleteKeep letting the ‘hood clean the streets. Much cheaper and more effective the the DA. Purge ‘25!
ReplyDeleteY’all enjoy Bryley as your next chief!
ReplyDeleteAnd just like clockwork, the powers-that-be in Charlotte are gearing up for another grand performance. The latest exit from the top brass comes complete with a golden parachute, of course. Meanwhile, we’re being sold the usual “national search” fantasy—as if they aren’t already eyeing someone in-house or from a familiar spot in Northern Virginia (Fairfax). Funny how some folks still carry their old address book around like it’s a hiring tool.
ReplyDeleteWord on the street is they might even try to bring in a name from Louisiana law enforcement circles, specifically New Orleans. I hear Sheriff Hutson and Chief Kirkpatrick have good reputations and in the media doing the Lord’s work. Supposedly solid folks. But let’s be honest—Charlotte’s leadership isn’t in the market for someone who tells it like it is or shakes the tree like Grady Judd. A hard-nosed sheriff type? Not a chance. That kind of accountability would send too many ripples through a system built on quiet handshakes, mutual blind eyes, no consequences, and no repercussions.
What they actually want is someone malleable, and dumb enough not to stutter or drool. Someone who won’t rock the boat or step out of line. A polished DEI figurehead who knows when to speak and when to stay silent—especially when things get messy. The face might change, but the script won’t.
Reform? Real change? Please, you’re delusional. This is the same council that’s been wheeling and dealing behind closed doors—from sweetheart property arrangements to questionable plays for pro teams, all without batting an eye. If anything was going to be different, we’d have seen it by now.
So don’t expect a shake-up. Expect the same furniture, just moved to the other side of the room. Maybe with a new candle lit or Lysol to mask the smell.
I said a rainbow flag was coming this year outside of the LEC.
