Melvin Eugene Bell, a 59-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on May 5, 2019, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Officers on an unrelated call heard gunfire around 11:15 p.m. and found Bell on Washburn Avenue near Monroe Road; he was pronounced dead at the scene by Medic.

By late September 2019, police reported arrests connected to the case. On September 27, 2019, Datarius McHam, 22, was charged with murder and Zsaquan Burris, 21, was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. A third arrest followed on October 1, 2019, when Kendale Burris, 23, was charged with accessory after the fact to first-degree murder. Authorities asked anyone with additional information to come forward to assist the investigation.

Does anyone in the Charlotte area remember hearing or seeing anything on the night of May 5, 2019, that could help this case?
