CHARLOTTE — Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department are investigating a shooting involving a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools coach, police announced Wednesday.
Police say 27-year-old Dia’Mond Johnson was arrested by York County deputies in South Carolina Wednesday for allegedly shooting into occupied property.
The York County Sheriff’s Office worked in collaboration with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department to make the arrest. He faces two counts of shooting into occupied property and is currently awaiting extradition to Mecklenburg County.
Officials say the incident did not occur on school property and did not involve any students, teachers, or school facilities. Johnson was a non-faculty member coach with CMS.
The investigation remains active and ongoing. Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Crime Stoppers.
Channel 9 is asking CMS for more information about Johnson.
An attorney for Johnson reached out to Channel 9 after our story was published and said: “The evidence will establish unmistakably that he is the victim of a violent crime in this case, and that he has been wrongfully and mistakenly accused of misconduct. At the bond hearing before the court this week, the court recognized that the evidence against Mr. Johnson was weak, and decided to release him on a very low bond amount without any need for electronic monitoring.”
