Tyron Jodie Ervin, a 22-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on December 17, 2018, at The Retreat at McAlpine Creek Apartments in south Charlotte, North Carolina. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers found Ervin around 11:30 a.m. suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

Investigators pursued the case for years. On August 16, 2021, CMPD announced charges against two men in connection with Ervin’s killing: 21-year-old Juan Deras Escalante and 20-year-old Mario Jose Ramirez-Duarte. Escalante was already in custody on an unrelated murder charge, and Ramirez-Duarte was arrested without incident on August 15, 2021. Both were charged with murder and other related offenses. The motive for the shooting is described as unclear.

Does anyone have information about Tyron Ervin, his time at The Retreat at McAlpine Creek, or the events leading up to December 17, 2018?
