One person has died following a shooting that occurred on Wednesday at an off-campus apartment complex near the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The incident was reported along Mary Alexander Road, which lies between Mallard Creek Church Road and the university itself.
Emergency medical services confirmed that one individual was dead at the scene, as reported by Medic. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) is actively conducting a homicide investigation into the matter. Thankfully, no additional injuries were reported in connection with the shooting incident.
Multiple firearms were found in the parking lot of the Mallard Green Apartment complex, which is located less than half a mile from the UNC Charlotte campus. CMPD officials have stated that they are not hunting for any additional suspects, indicating that there is no ongoing threat to the surrounding area. A NinerAlert was sent out to students and staff, advising them to steer clear of the area but reassuring them that there was no known threat to the campus.
The Charlotte Fire Department also responded promptly to the scene. Live updates were provided by local media on their streaming service following the unfolding of events.
In a separate but related note, UNC Charlotte police are currently investigating a reported sexual assault that occurred near McCall House 6 early Tuesday morning. This incident has raised additional concerns among the campus community.
Additionally, a recent incident involving a stolen vehicle led to the apprehension of two suspects without any complications. A significant detail of this situation is that an infant was present in the vehicle at the time of the incident. However, it should be noted that there was confusion caused by an error in the NinerAlert system concerning reports of gunfire, which university officials later clarified did not happen.
As the CMPD continues their investigation into the tragic shooting, local residents and university students remain vigilant, focusing on maintaining a sense of safety in the area.
