Renorda Montressa Pough, a 36-year-old African American woman, was killed on November 14, 2006, in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was with her niece, Lakia Gantt, near 18th Street and Seigle Avenue when an armed dispute over a $40 drug-related debt escalated. The defendant had earlier refused to accept payment from Gantt for Pough’s debt, then returned with a firearm; despite Gantt’s efforts to get her aunt to leave, the defendant fired, and Pough died from the shooting.

The defendant was later indicted for first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. At a November 2008 trial a jury found the defendant guilty on both counts and the defendant was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. Pough’s family and community continue to remember her.

Did anyone who knew Renorda or who was in that Charlotte neighborhood on November 14, 2006, see or hear anything that could add detail to what happened that evening?
