Police ID man shot to death during west Charlotte home invasion

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police are looking for the gunman who shot and killed and man during a home invasion in west Charlotte late Sunday night.

Officers were called to a home on Rocklake Drive, off Little Rock Road, just before 11 p.m. and found 36-year-old Talea Craig, who had been shot.

Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators told Channel 9 that they think the suspects broke into the home, confronted Craig and then shot him.

There was one other person inside the house at the time but police have not said what the relationship between that person and the victim is.

That person was not hurt.

Detectives were speaking with neighbors to see if anyone saw the suspects, and are trying to figure out if Craig was targeted and what the motive may have been.
