William Jerome Rann Jr was shot to death on September 20, 2017, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was 29 and was found with gunshot wounds at a residence on Dogwood Avenue after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers responded to a domestic disturbance call shortly before 9:30 p.m. Emergency workers pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police identified 29-year-old Michael Norman Smith as the primary suspect. Smith was found at the scene, detained, and after an interview with homicide detectives was charged with Rann’s murder. Investigators said the two men were related, but did not specify how. The case was classified as a domestic-related assault and no other suspects were being sought; the investigation remained open and CMPD asked anyone with information to come forward.

Does anyone have information about the relationship between Rann and Smith or about that Dogwood Avenue residence?
