Zuri Norman, 26, was found fatally shot near Winged Elm Court in east Charlotte on October 30, 2020, at about 11:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene with an apparent gunshot wound.

Derreck McDonald, 36, was identified as the offender in Norman’s murder, but McDonald was killed on December 12, 2020, before police could file charges. After McDonald’s death, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department established probable cause linking him to Norman’s killing. Investigations into both Zuri Norman’s homicide and McDonald’s subsequent death remain active; no arrests have been announced in connection with McDonald’s murder.

Anyone with information about either case is asked to contact Crime Stoppers or the CMPD Homicide Unit.
