Wilson Edgardo Gutierrez Mejia, a 29-year-old Hispanic man originally from El Salvador, was shot and killed in Charlotte, North Carolina, just after 3 a.m. on November 6, 2022. He was found on Central Avenue near Kilbourne Drive with a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene. He left behind three children, two in Charlotte and one in El Salvador, and was known locally as a soccer coach and player.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigated the killing. Four people were arrested: Christian Alejandro Garcia Santa Cruz, 29, and Aderly Jose Veliz Ronquillo, 29, were charged with murder; Yeny Beralz Sorto Hernandez, 25, and Mirian Sola Dubon, 32, were charged with felony accessory after murder. Authorities said the suspects were apprehended in New York and Maryland and were to be extradited back to Charlotte. Federal indictments allege the two murder defendants acted in aid of racketeering as part of an MS-13 clique called the Hollywood Locos Salvadorians Clique.

The investigation remains active as authorities continue gathering information and pursuing leads. Does anyone in the Charlotte area have information about Gutierrez Mejia’s movements that night or about the clique named in the indictments?
