Lucas Lorenzo Baldwin, a 34-year-old African American man, was shot and killed outside the Tanglewood Apartments on Wynbrook Way in North Charlotte on June 4, 2017. The shooting occurred around 4:00 pm and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. Baldwin’s death was recorded as the 37th homicide in Charlotte that year.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police identified 41-year-old William Vandale Medlin as a suspect and said he was considered armed and dangerous, last seen driving a silver Range Rover with a temporary tag. Warrants were issued charging Medlin with murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Three days later, on June 7, 2017, Medlin turned himself in to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and was charged.

Investigators described the shooting as likely tied to a personal dispute; CMPD Major Coerte Voorhees noted that some violent incidents arise from people feeling disrespected rather than resolving conflicts through dialogue. Does anyone have information about Lucas Baldwin, his routine, or events at the Tanglewood Apartments that day?
