Daquan Alston, a 21-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on October 15, 2015, in east Charlotte, North Carolina. A street argument between Alston and another man escalated into both men drawing firearms and shooting at each other. Alston was pronounced dead at the scene; the other man later died at a hospital.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to a call about an assault with a deadly weapon, found both men with gunshot wounds, and conducted witness interviews and evidence collection. Authorities determined the incident to be a mutual shooting and closed the investigation after concluding both men were equally responsible; no arrests were made.
