Pedro Fabricio Diaz-Paz, a 23-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on the night of September 17, 2018, at the Beacon Ridge apartment complex in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was found dead inside a truck in the parking lot, and police immediately treated the death as a homicide.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department searched for suspects and witnesses. Authorities arrested 40-year-old Joel Miranda and charged him with first-degree murder in connection with Diaz-Paz’s death. That case proceeded to a nine-day trial but ended in a mistrial on April 14, 2022, when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. The District Attorney’s Office has continued work on the matter and the investigation remains open.

If anyone witnessed the shooting that night or has information about Pedro Fabricio Diaz-Paz’s death, please come forward.
