Charlotte – An East Charlotte couple is seeking help from the city after their home was struck by gunfire. Bryson Rogers and Monica Glick, who live on Bentley Place in the Country Club Heights neighborhood, reported a shooting incident that left bullets penetrating their property and shell casings discovered nearby.
The shooting occurred on a Monday night and was part of ongoing issues linked to the nearby Country Club Apartments. Rogers has previously reported problems stemming from the apartment complex, including drug-related activities and homelessness in the vicinity. Although detectives from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) stated that the gunfire was not aimed directly at the couple’s home, they highlighted the dangers posed by stray bullets.
Recent crime statistics indicate a troubling pattern in the area. According to WCCB’s crime mapping tool, at least 40 incidents of property and violent crimes have been reported within a quarter mile of the apartment complex since April. This alarming situation is compounded by the couple’s frustrations regarding the lack of accountability from property management and the owners of the Country Club Apartments.
Concordia Properties, a company based in New Jersey that owns the Country Club Apartments, has not responded to inquiries regarding the couple’s concerns or potential remediation for the issues raised. Rogers and Glick have made multiple attempts to contact Concordia Properties seeking solutions but report a lack of assistance.
Rogers believes there is a pressing need for the city to take action by pressuring property owners to enhance security and address property maintenance issues. The City of Charlotte has received numerous 311 complaints regarding trash, debris, and unhoused individuals in the area, with some complaints specifically directed to code enforcement offices.
Support for Rogers and Glick’s claims has also been noted in public feedback, including a Google review that corroborated their concerns about shootings and homelessness around the Country Club Apartments. Recently, a police report mentioned that a car was struck by bullets during the same shooting incident; however, no arrests have been made as of yet.
The couple’s hopes for city intervention reflect broader issues of safety and community health in urban neighborhoods. The focus on the actions of property management and the need for stricter enforcement could be pivotal in addressing the ongoing challenges faced by residents in this part of Charlotte.
