Christopher Keith Parrott, 27, was shot and killed at his Marion Street home in Shelby, North Carolina, on the foggy morning of December 15, 2009. Born February 28, 1982, in Cleveland County, he worked at Ola’s and Deborah’s Restaurant in Shelby and at Reliance Electric in Kings Mountain. He enjoyed music, drawing, reading, and spending time with his children.

The investigation led to charges against three Cleveland County youths who were 18 at the time: Quintien O’Brian Surratt, Jonavan Lewis Hopper, and Trumane Daurice Jefferies. Hopper and Jefferies pleaded guilty in June 2011 to second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a felon, and robbery with a dangerous weapon; both were serving roughly 27-year sentences. Surratt was later tried on counts including murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, and breaking and entering; he was held at the Cleveland County Detention Center on a $500,000 bond.

Are there details about Christopher’s life in Shelby or the morning of the shooting that anyone can add to help fill gaps in the timeline?
