Shawn Harbin was a 26-year-old African American man who was shot and killed on March 22, 2016, on Westridge Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. Raised in Rome, Georgia, he graduated from Hawthorne High School and lived in Charlotte as an adult; he was known for his interest in cars and mechanic work. His mother, Lucille Puckett, witnessed the shooting and saw her son die; several shots were fired at her as well, though she was not struck.

An arrest did not come for more than a year. Police charged 32-year-old Talvi Moore with Harbin’s murder and assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. That prosecution went to trial, but in May 2022 a Superior Court judge declared a mistrial when the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict and Moore was released. The charges could potentially be refiled, but the family has been left without final resolution.

Does anyone have information about Shawn’s life in Charlotte or about the shooting on Westridge Drive?
