Tyrone Burch, a 45-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on January 3, 2016, in a parking lot on Beatties Ford Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The autopsy reported multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the top back right side of his head that traveled nearly straight down and lodged near the brain stem, another to the right side of his neck exiting through the chest, plus wounds under his right underarm and near his back left shoulder blade.

Investigators say the shooting followed a fight between Burch and Shelton Andre Kimble, 47. The altercation began at a bar after Burch had started dating Kimble’s former girlfriend, escalated into the street, and ended with Kimble firing multiple shots. Kimble voluntarily went to police headquarters and was arrested and charged in the killing; court testimony later led to a conviction for first-degree murder in State v. Kimble.

Family members described Burch as a hardworking man who owned a home improvement company and as a loving husband and father despite marital difficulties. The family expressed grief and said they were leaving the matter in the hands of the Lord. Does anyone have information about Burch’s life, the bar where the altercation began, or witnesses to the street confrontation?
