Dermaine Perea, a 26-year-old man from Charlotte, North Carolina, was shot multiple times and died after being taken to hospital following an early-morning shooting on August 18, 2022. The shooting happened around 2 a.m.; paramedics and police responded to a gas station on South Tryon Street where Perea was found. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital.

Initial reports say Perea was shot while driving on Interstate 485 and then drove himself to the gas station before calling 911.

The CMPD asked the public for help as the investigation continued.
