Why did Daryl throw away his life this way? I know it wasn't worth it. How very sad for his family.

On the evening of July 3, 2017, Harold Rudolph Jones, a 63-year-old Black man in Charlotte’s University City area, was found outside a residence with a fatal gunshot wound. The death was initially reported as a possible suicide, but investigators determined the scene indicated a homicide, recorded as Charlotte’s 49th of the year.

Police identified a primary suspect close to home: Jones’ 22-year-old stepson, Daryl Roby. Officers say an altercation between the two preceded the shooting. Roby remained at the scene, cooperated with detectives, was interviewed, and was arrested and charged with murder; he was scheduled for an initial court appearance. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department asked the public for any additional information.

If anyone knew Harold, Daryl Roby, or witnessed the events that night, please come forward with information.
