Reyno Leocadio Melgar, a 47-year-old Latino man, was fatally wounded in a shooting at the East Park Apartments on Burner Drive in Charlotte on March 1, 2020. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police found two men with gunshot injuries just after 11:30 a.m.; Melgar was taken to a hospital with serious wounds and later died. The other man survived and was expected to recover.

Months after the shooting, CMPD classified the incident as a justified homicide, a finding reviewed and agreed to by the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office. No arrests or charges were announced, and the departments did not publish an explanation for that classification or describe what led up to the shooting. The investigation is described as ongoing but public details remain limited.
