Seventeen-year-old Cayden Morgan Casanova was fatally shot on January 18, 2025, at an apartment complex on Hollow Creek Circle in the University City area of Charlotte, North Carolina. Emergency responders arrived shortly after 4:00 p.m. and found Casanova suffering from a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene despite medical efforts.

Authorities later identified two juvenile suspects and obtained warrants charging them with murder, felony conspiracy, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and armed robbery. Casanova’s next of kin has been notified and the investigation is ongoing as police continue to gather evidence and interview witnesses.
