Elias Izagirre Perez, a 30-year-old Hispanic man, was shot and killed on September 6, 2015, in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was pronounced dead in the 1100 block of Glenfiddich Drive during a violent Labor Day weekend that saw multiple shootings and five fatalities, including a 7-year-old boy.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Investigators linked much of the weekend violence to rival gang activity. In the crackdown that followed, police confiscated dozens of firearms and arrested 95 people. Quincy Dushawn McWaine, an 18-year-old African American man, was charged with Perez’s murder and with robbery with a dangerous weapon; he was already in the Mecklenburg County jail on other charges when charged in Perez’s killing.

The case underscores the deadly spike in violent incidents that weekend and the challenges police described in addressing gang-related shootings. Does anyone have information about Elias’s life in Charlotte or witnessed activity on Glenfiddich Drive that night?
