Malik Khalid Etheridge, 19, of Edenton, North Carolina, died of a single gunshot wound to the head on September 17, 2016. He was found in the driver’s seat of a vehicle at the Wedgewood Apartments on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after an officer on patrol heard a gunshot.

Investigators say Etheridge was shot when a .357 magnum was accidentally discharged from the back seat by his close friend, 21-year-old Darian Copeland. Copeland turned himself in to the Edenton Police Department, admitted the shooting was accidental, and was charged with involuntary manslaughter; he was held at the Chowan County Jail on $100,000 bond. Etheridge was a young father and left behind a daughter.

What information do readers have about that night or about Malik’s movements in Edenton leading up to September 17, 2016?
