David Burns, 19, was shot and killed on January 16, 2020, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was found inside a vehicle on Holland Avenue with fatal gunshot wounds around midnight; two other people were shot in the same incident and survived after treatment.

Police say the shooting happened near Druid Hills Neighborhood Park. A horse caretaker at a nearby stable heard the gunfire and called for help. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Team located and arrested two suspects without incident: 18-year-old William Avoki and a 17-year-old female. Both were charged with murder; Avoki also faced multiple firearm- and assault-related charges.

The case drew attention because several people were injured and arrests were made quickly. What does anyone in the community remember about that night or the people involved?
