Abel Harris, a 41-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and killed inside a house on Princess Street near West Sugar Creek Road in Charlotte, North Carolina on October 28, 2020. Paramedics attempted to revive him but he was pronounced dead at the scene. His death was recorded as Charlotte’s 100th homicide for 2020.

Investigators later identified 42-year-old Dedrick Lavon Gamble as the primary suspect. Nearly two months after the killing a warrant was issued for his arrest. Surveillance and witness information placed him in the area of the shooting wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, dark jeans, a black vest and white sneakers, and in the back seat of a dark blue 2015–17 Toyota Camry. He turned himself in to law enforcement in Sumpter, South Carolina on December 11, 2020 and was returned to North Carolina on December 17, 2020, where he was charged with murder and robbery.

Anyone who knew Abel, saw activity on Princess Street on October 28, 2020, or has information about the vehicle or movements described is asked to come forward.
