Pamela Garmon, a 28-year-old woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, was shot to death at her home on Summerour Place in west Charlotte on December 1, 2010. The shooting occurred around 10:30 p.m.; Pamela, who was African American, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Reports say she had been shot multiple times with an assault rifle.

The primary suspect was her boyfriend, Jamar Springs. He was accused of shooting Pamela eight times in the back, then fleeing to Northlake Mall where he allegedly shot at two mall patrons and kidnapped a third person who was later released unharmed. Springs was eventually apprehended and charged in connection with Pamela’s murder and the subsequent mall incidents.

Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty. Springs was charged with second-degree murder and related offenses; on November 3, 2011, he pled guilty and received a combined sentence of 425 to 580 months in prison. Pamela’s mother, Cynthia Garmon, spoke publicly about her grief and frustration over her daughter’s death and the sentence.

Did anyone know Pamela or have information about her life in west Charlotte that could shed light on what happened that night?
