A 15-year-old student and wrestler, Matthias Zamarion Crockett, was fatally shot on January 22, 2025, in Uptown Charlotte on 8th Street. Authorities say Crockett was inside a red SUV that a 27-year-old DoorDash driver, Keshawn Boyd, had left running while delivering food nearby. A physical altercation followed when Boyd returned and allegedly found Crockett in the vehicle; during the struggle Boyd fired a 9mm pistol, killing Crockett at the scene.

Boyd was arrested shortly after the shooting and has been charged with first-degree murder. Court records say Boyd confessed to firing the weapon and that Crockett was unarmed. Boyd was denied bond and assigned a court-appointed attorney. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says no additional suspects are being sought. Crockett attended West Charlotte High School and was on the wrestling team.

Does anyone have information about Crockett’s movements that day or saw anything on 8th Street that could help investigators?
