Joe Bay Galicia was 18 when he was shot and killed on August 30, 2022, at an apartment complex on Rose Ridge Place in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his 20-year-old brother Gary were reportedly out to pick up food for their family when both were shot; Joe died at the scene and Gary was taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries, later dying on September 3, 2022.

The Galicia family has been vocal in seeking justice; their father, Jaime Bay, publicly urged the person responsible to think about the pain caused to the family and said he forgave them. No arrests were announced immediately after the shooting, but on September 15, 2022 an 18-year-old male, Cam’Ron Sadler, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a felon.

The brothers’ deaths prompted community fundraising and calls for justice. If anyone knew Joe or Gary, or has information about the shooting at Rose Ridge Place on August 30, 2022, please come forward.
