Asa Jarrah Shannon, 35, was found dead on January 11, 2020, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He and his girlfriend, 35-year-old Siojvon Joseph, were discovered in a vehicle down an embankment on Atando Avenue after a citizen reported the scene. Both were pronounced dead at the scene and the vehicle needed a tow truck to be removed from the embankment.

Investigators identified and arrested 32-year-old Everett Connor on multiple charges including two counts of first-degree murder, armed robbery, first-degree kidnapping, conspiracy to commit armed robbery, and felony breaking and entering; the arrest followed a multi-unit law enforcement effort. Subsequent charging documents named additional suspects, including 33-year-old Terry Connor and 30-year-old Steven Staples, in connection with the double homicide; Terry Connor was also charged in an unrelated March 2020 killing of Scott Brooks.

The deaths devastated the families and the west Charlotte community. If anyone has information about Asa Shannon, Siojvon Joseph, or the events on Atando Avenue that day, please share what is known.
