Anthony Antoine Byers, a 38-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on June 29, 2014, on the 2100 block of Lincoln Heights Court in Charlotte, North Carolina. Police responded to a call for assault with a deadly weapon and found Byers with a gunshot wound; he was taken to Carolinas Medical Center and pronounced dead. Investigators early on described the killing as likely drug-related and reported that Byers may have known the shooter.

On January 27, 2017, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified and charged Ajenee Forte, a 24-year-old man, as the primary suspect. At that time Forte was in federal custody at the US Penitentiary-Big Sandy in Inez, Kentucky; detectives said he would be charged with murder and attempted armed robbery once released from federal custody. The case drew attention for its apparent link to drug activity and for the loss felt by Byers family and community.

If anyone knew Anthony Byers, his movements that night, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
