Mario Racheim Reynolds, a 37-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Charlotte, North Carolina, on March 28, 2020. Officers responded about 9 p.m. to Irma Street, near Catherine Simmons Avenue, and found Reynolds with an apparent gunshot wound. He was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries and was pronounced deceased shortly after.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department homicide detectives and Crime Scene Search teams investigated the scene and collected physical evidence. Authorities later identified and charged a suspect in the case: 21-year-old Wardell Alonzo Sherill. Sherill was in custody in Connecticut on an unrelated arrest when the North Carolina murder charge was filed and was expected to be extradited to face the charge.

Detectives continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information to come forward. If readers knew Reynolds or have relevant information about the shooting, please share what you know with investigators.
