Antwon Risher was 19 when he was shot and killed in Charlotte, North Carolina, on March 14, 2020. The shooting occurred late that night in the parking lot of an apartment complex on Griffith Street. Police were called about an assault with a deadly weapon around 11:50 PM; when officers arrived they found Risher with a gunshot wound and medics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police opened a homicide investigation. Witnesses described a vehicle leaving the scene, and officers located that vehicle the next day. When officers attempted to stop it the driver would not comply and a brief chase ended when the vehicle struck a parked car. All occupants were detained and questioned, and 18-year-old Donquavis Johnson was charged with murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Investigators continued to canvass for witnesses and evidence as they sought motive and any possible accomplices.
