Lesbian Kills Her Partner Creates A Stink

Charlotte Mecklenburg Police still have ID'd the victim as Evelin Carolina Enamorado-Cisnado age 26.

Troubling details are emerging after a woman accused of killing someone inside an east Charlotte apartment faced a judge for the first time Thursday.

According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, what began as a welfare check Tuesday afternoon became homicide investigation.

Officers say they were called to Central Avenue in Charlotte after a caller reported someone inside an apartment might be dead.

Court documents reveal a DoorDash driver had arrived at the apartment and was told someone inside the home was dead.

When officers entered the apartment, investigators say they discovered a woman’s body hidden inside a closet, behind a door and covered with several towels. Police say the victim’s body had already begun decomposing.

Detectives later arrested 23-year-old Lhis Brito-Costa early Wednesday and charged her with first degree murder.

According to court records, Brito-Costa told investigators she had been in a relationship with the victim and allegedly shot the woman after learning the victim was involved with someone else.

During a first appearance hearing at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse, a judge ordered Brito-Costa to remain in custody without bond while the case moves forward.

Officials also confirmed that an ICE detainer has been placed on Brito-Costa. Authorities have not released additional details about the detainer.

The situation was further complicated by the fact that according to CMDP Brito-Costa is deaf and speaks only Portuguese. Which would make her most likely an illegal immigrant from Brazil.
