Amari Reshad McCaskill was a 20-year-old Black man shot and killed on August 20, 2019, on West Trade Street in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was found with a life-threatening gunshot wound, taken to Atrium Health’s Carolinas Medical Center, and pronounced dead at the hospital.

Witnesses said the shooting happened in a restaurant parking lot after a fight between two individuals. Police identified 21-year-old Algia Clark Jr. as a suspect and arrested him; Clark was charged with Amari’s murder. The incident prompted an emergency alert to students at Johnson C. Smith University about a possible active shooter near campus.

Family remembered Amari as a kind, gentle, mild-mannered father. He is survived by his parents, Ms. Kimberly McCaskill and Mr. Willie Springs, his daughter Jasmine, his son A'mari Jr., and other relatives. Did anyone see what happened in that parking lot or have information that could help clarify the events leading to Amari’s death?
