Pedro Hernandez, an 18-year-old from Charlotte, North Carolina, was killed on May 29, 2006. He was found with multiple gunshot wounds, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department investigated his death as a violent crime.

Investigators questioned several people and identified a few persons of interest, and some arrests and charges followed over the years. Outcomes varied: some charges were dropped for insufficient evidence and other defendants were acquitted, according to the case history. The investigation encountered challenges tied to limited concrete evidence and witness testimony.

The loss affected Pedro’s family and the Charlotte community, and the police continued pursuing leads related to the homicide. If anyone knew Pedro, was in the area on May 29, 2006, or has information that could help the case, please come forward.
