Jeffrey Bernard Lineberger II, 43, was shot and killed on September 5, 2021, in the Hidden Valley area of Charlotte. The shooting happened around 4 a.m. on Springview Road. Two other people were also shot and taken to a nearby hospital; Lineberger was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigated and the homicide unit concluded the shooting was a justified homicide. The Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office agreed and declined to file charges. No arrests were made and no one was identified or charged in connection with Lineberger’s death.

The shooting followed a confrontation that escalated into violence; beyond that description, details about motive and the other victims’ conditions were not provided. Does anyone have information about that early-morning confrontation on Springview Road?
