Ray Marese Garlins, 41, was fatally shot outside a residence on Finchley Drive in east Charlotte around 12:30 a.m. on May 15, 2021. He was pronounced dead at the scene from a gunshot wound.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified 21-year-old Darius Emmanuel Platt as a suspect; Platt, who was on electronic monitoring probation, was located in the immediate area of the shooting and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. A second suspect, 24-year-old Jaquarius Bryant, later turned himself in to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and was also charged with first-degree murder. The investigation remains active and police continue to seek additional information.

Are there details about that late-night shooting on Finchley Drive that anyone in the area can share or that might help investigators?
