CMPD Eastway Division Officers where working overnight to sort out the details of a shooting that took place around 7:30 last night at an East Charlotte apartment complex.
News reports suggest two men had a short altercation in an apartment parking lot located just off of Wembly Drive. During the altercation one man pulled a hand gun and shot the other once in the chest. The shooter was last seen leaving the area in a white car.
The wounded man was declared dead at the scene by medics.
The area, generally between Central and Briarcreek is predominately lower income apartments and duplexes. The warren of apartments, cut troughs, connecting sidewalks and parking lots has become a haven for drug dealers and thieves despite property owners many attempts at revitalizing the area.
WBTV reported during their 11 o'clock news only vague details noting that CMPD investigators spent several hours interviewing witnesses with a number of people taken to police headquarters for additional questioning.
Police have few facts to go on, since despite dozens of people wandering around the area, no one saw anything.
