Jonathan Elijah Ijames, a 30-year-old African American man, was shot multiple times and died at the scene of a shooting on April 26, 2020, at the Lafayette Street Apartment complex in Salisbury, North Carolina. Several other people were wounded in the incident: 23-year-old Kyshawn Quandar Robinson was airlifted to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in critical but stable condition; a 15-year-old female Salisbury resident was treated and released the same day; and Andreon Tyquan Kerns, 20, and another male were treated and released from local hospitals.

Police say the shooting grew out of a conflict at the apartment complex. Investigators recovered two handguns, a .45-caliber and a 9 mm, which were sent for testing. Reginald Dean Oglesby Jr., 21, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with Ijames’ death; warrants were issued, he turned himself in, and was held in the Rowan County Detention Center on a $1.1 million secured bond. The investigation is ongoing and police are asking anyone with information to come forward.
