CHARLOTTE — Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers said someone was shot and killed after an argument in north Charlotte Monday morning.
Investigators said it happened on Drury Drive, off of West Craighead Road. CMPD Major Ryan Butler told Channel 9′s Dan Matics two people were standing in the front yard of a home when they got into an argument.
Butler said that escalated, ending in gunfire. As a result, he said a man in his early 30s was shot and died at the scene.
CMPD alerted residents through its app around 9 a.m. Monday about the investigation.
Detectives are looking for witnesses to the shooting as well as video evidence. Butler told Matics there’s “still a lot to go through” in terms of physical evidence.
Police have identified a suspect of interest, Butler said.
On Tuesday, police identified the victim as 34-year-old Daymon Holley-Long.
No further information was released.
