Asiah Mekhi Figueroa was a 3-year-old boy killed on September 7, 2021, in Charlotte, North Carolina, when more than 150 shots were fired into his home while he slept. The attack also prompted a major investigation by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and drew widespread shock from the community.

By September 18, 2021, 21-year-old Kaleb Lawrence had turned himself in and was charged with first-degree murder, multiple counts of attempted first-degree murder, discharging a firearm into occupied property, fleeing/eluding in a motor vehicle, and reckless driving with willful and wanton disregard; he remained in custody without bond. The CMPD identified another person of interest, Bryce Felder, born May 2, 2002, as wanted in connection with Asiah’s death and described him as armed and dangerous.

The investigation was ongoing and authorities asked the public for information. If anyone knew Asiah, his family, or has information about the shooting or Felder’s whereabouts, please come forward to the CMPD.
