Ronnie Lee Abram, 37, was shot and killed on November 4, 2020, in the University City area of Charlotte, North Carolina. Officers found Abram on McCullough Drive near Ikea Boulevard shortly before 7:30 p.m.; he had a fatal gunshot wound to the back of his head and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified Abram’s nephew, 19-year-old Dasan Evan Villegas, as the person responsible. Reports say Villegas became upset about a gun Abram had sold him, which led to the fatal altercation. Villegas was arrested in Atlanta on November 6, 2020, and charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; he was extradited to North Carolina to face those charges.

No additional suspects or ongoing investigations were reported. If anyone has information about Abram, his movements that evening, or the dispute described, please share what is known.
