CHARLOTTE — It’s been more than three years since 23-year-old Li Y was found dead outside of an apartment complex in northeast Charlotte, but police said Thursday that an arrest has finally been made.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says Joshua Garmon, 23, was identified as a person of interest in the case on Wednesday. After an interview with detectives, he was then charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
CMPD officers began investigating Y’s death after he was found shot on April 23, 2020. Investigators found him lying beside a car in the road on Paces Oaks Boulevard, near East W.T. Harris Boulevard.
