William Weddington, 24, of Charlotte was shot in the early morning of June 5, 2017, in the 3500 block of Spring Terrace Lane. Officers arriving at the scene found him with an apparent gunshot wound; he was taken to Carolinas Medical Center and pronounced dead there.

Authorities identified 63-year-old Maurice Grant as a person of interest, took him to the hospital as a precaution, and interviewed him. Grant was later arrested and charged with William Weddington’s murder. Reports say the two men knew one another, and investigators described the shooting as not random.

Family and friends held a vigil for Weddington as the CMPD continued its investigation and asked anyone with information to come forward. If anyone knew William or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
