Donsha Seren Rankin, a 20-year-old African American woman, was shot and killed on September 6, 2016, inside an apartment at the Seneca Woods apartments off Park Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Rankin was pregnant and had recently learned she was expecting a baby girl. Police responded to an assault with a deadly weapon call shortly before 11 p.m. and found her fatally wounded inside the unit.

There were people in the apartment when the shooting occurred, and investigators say Rankin and the suspect knew each other. Family members reported the killing followed an argument. A man who had been in the apartment said he stepped outside to smoke, heard a single gunshot, saw people running downstairs, and called 911. Authorities seized an AR-15 with ammunition from the apartment but did not confirm whether it was used in the killing. No arrests or suspect identities have been released and investigators were seeking witnesses and consulting with prosecutors.

If anyone was in or near the Seneca Woods apartments on September 6, 2016, or has information about that night, please share what is known with Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.
