Churchill Randolph Zoker, a 32-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 30, 2018, at the Extended Stay motel on East McCullough Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. Patrol officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call; Zoker was taken to Carolinas Medical Center with life-threatening gunshot injuries and was pronounced dead a short time later.

The investigation produced multiple arrests. Jamaal Griffin, 38, was tried beginning May 1, 2023; the jury found him guilty on May 18, 2023, of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Griffin was sentenced to life without parole plus an additional 14–26 months. Two other people were arrested in connection with the case: Jasmine Ingram, 23, was convicted of robbery with a dangerous weapon in 2019 and served one year; Abagail Johnson, 22, faces murder and attempted robbery charges and remains in Mecklenburg County jail on $100,000 bond.

Anyone who knew Churchill Randolph Zoker or has information about the events at the Extended Stay on June 30, 2018, is asked to come forward.
