Tony Van Tran, 26, was fatally shot on February 24, 2014, after an altercation during a drug transaction on Northgate Trail Drive in Northeast Charlotte. Police located shell casings at the scene but no victim; Tran was later identified as the gunshot victim who arrived at Carolinas Medical Center University and died from his injuries. Another person was assaulted during the same incident and treated for non-life-threatening injuries at the scene.

Investigators tied the shooting to a drug deal and identified three people known to the victim as involved: Jose Sosa, 20, Edwin Medel, 21, and Lindy Hoeun, 22. The CMPD Violent Criminal Apprehension Team arrested all three early on February 26, 2014, and they were charged with Tran’s murder. The family remembered him for a vibrant personality and the love he shared with those close to him.

Did anyone in the Charlotte area have information about Tran’s activities or the incident on Northgate Trail Drive?
