Michael James DeSeve, 48, of Charlotte, North Carolina, was found dead in the driveway of his McGregor Drive residence on July 23, 2020. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded at about 7:30 a.m. and paramedics pronounced him dead; authorities reported the cause of death as a shooting and homicide detectives opened an immediate investigation.

The investigation led to the arrest of 36-year-old John Michael Odea, who was located in the backyard of the residence with a firearm nearby. Odea was taken into custody without incident and charged with DeSeve’s murder; CMPD said no additional suspects were being sought. DeSeve is survived by his daughters Grace and Madeline and their mother Kim, and his obituary described him as a devoted family man.

Anyone with information that could assist the ongoing investigation is asked to come forward.
