Brianna Sue Stephenson was 19 when she was fatally shot while sitting in the passenger seat of a car on Freedom Drive in Charlotte on March 8, 2020. She was shot twice and died of her wounds the next day, March 9, 2020. Born November 6, 2000, she was the daughter of Brandy Wynn and Troy Stephenson and is survived by siblings and grandparents.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigated the killing and an 18-year-old, Christopher Chisholm, was arrested and charged in connection with the murder while already jailed on other matters. Those murder charges were later dismissed by the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s office because prosecutors said there was insufficient forensic evidence tying him to the scene. Chisholm remains in custody on unrelated charges including possession of a stolen firearm, robbery with a dangerous weapon, and assaulting a government official.

Brianna’s family say they believe she was not the intended target and that the shooter had a conflict with the person who was with her. Does anyone have information or witnessed activity on Freedom Drive on March 8, 2020 that could help the investigation?
