Kendric Washington, a 22-year-old African American man, was killed on November 20, 2018, in the common area of an apartment complex on Avebury Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina, near the University of North Carolina–Charlotte campus. Police responded to reports of gunshots that evening and found Washington suffering from gunshot wounds; CPR was attempted but he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Homicide detectives identified 25-year-old George Ivan Hayes as the primary suspect and arrested him without incident about a week after the shooting. Hayes was charged with first-degree murder and transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities have not disclosed a motive for the shooting.

The Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Homicide Prosecution Team, Operations Command, and Victim Services Team were involved in the investigation, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department asked anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the community witness activity around the Avebury Drive complex that night or know anything that could help the investigation?
