On July 31, 2022, 28-year-old Ishmeal Bash was found with a gunshot wound on Wallingford Street in southwest Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers discovered Bash around 8:30 p.m.; he was taken to a nearby hospital and died shortly after arrival.

Investigators say Bash was shot inside a motel room at the Quality Inn on Wallingford Street. Witnesses reported several people going in and out of the room before the shooting. With assistance from the FBI, authorities arrested 31-year-old Terrance Derrell Lee in Las Vegas on August 5, 2022; Lee was charged with Bash’s murder. The motive and many details about what led up to the shooting have not been released, and the investigation remains active.

If anyone saw activity around the Quality Inn that night or has information about the people who entered and exited the room, please share what is known with investigators.
