Katie Eckerd, 27, was shot to death on July 21, 2020, in the parking lot of a shopping center on West Sugar Creek Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Police were called after an armed robbery; officers found her in a parked car with gunshot wounds and she was taken to a hospital where she later died.

Investigators say the shooting occurred during an altercation linked to the robbery. Three people were arrested after a traffic stop: Marquez Williamson, 22, Bricard Washington, 25, and a 16-year-old male. All three were charged with murder, three counts of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon; the juvenile also faced three counts of malicious conduct by a prisoner. Police said they were not seeking additional suspects and located a vehicle believed to be involved.

Katie’s death was reported as the second homicide in Charlotte that day. Does anyone have information about the scene on West Sugar Creek Road or the vehicle police recovered?
