Santa Rodena Acevedo, 71, was shot and killed at her home on Newland Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, on April 3, 2019. She and her husband were found with gunshot wounds; she was pronounced dead at the scene and her husband survived and was hospitalized.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested 50-year-old Tomka Antonio McDowell on April 5, 2019, and charged him with first-degree murder, attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. McDowell’s defense later provided video evidence indicating he was not at the scene, and those charges were dropped while the investigation continued.

The circumstances of who fired the shots remain unresolved. Does anyone have information about the shooting or about activity near Newland Road on April 3, 2019?
