Demarco Trayvon Pegues, 31, was found shot to death inside a vehicle outside a Panera Bread in the Whitehall Commons Shopping Plaza in Charlotte on March 29, 2018. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded just before noon and discovered Pegues with a gunshot wound; a medic pronounced him dead at the scene. The car had been parked near the Panera Bread in the 8100 block of South Tryon Street.

Investigators reported that Pegues and a suspect, Jeffrey Javon Boggs, 24, knew each other. Detectives located Boggs at a hotel on Lucky Penny Street after obtaining a warrant for his arrest in connection with the shooting. CMPD charged Boggs with first-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and communicating threats. The motive remains unclear.

If anyone was in the Whitehall Commons area that morning or has information about meetings or disputes involving Pegues and Boggs, please come forward with what was seen or heard.
