Christian Laurence Siley II, 23, was shot multiple times and died on April 30, 2022, in the parking lot of the Courtyard by Marriott on West Woodlawn Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. The shooting occurred around 6 p.m., and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded and opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators arrested two suspects. Alexander Holman, 24, was detained by CMPD’s Crime Gun Suppression Team in May 2022 on unrelated charges; after an interview with detectives he was charged with first-degree murder and served with a warrant. Jasmine Howard, 25, was arrested on July 26, 2022, in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, in an operation involving CMPD VCAT, the FBI, U.S. Marshals, Lee’s Summit Police Department and Kansas City Police; she is in Lee’s Summit custody awaiting extradition. The motive remains unclear, and police have said it was uncertain whether Siley was staying at the hotel or was in the area by chance.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the CMPD Homicide Unit or submit an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers.
