CHARLOTTE — A 19-year-old was killed in a shooting Sunday night in northwest Charlotte, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

“The message to the community is the detectives, the officers on scene, crime scene, everyone is doing their best right now. As far we are concerned, the block, the street, everything is safe right now,” Major Jackie Bryley said.
