Rogerick Llevon Currie, 35, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of September 7, 2025, along the 4000 block of Queen City Drive in west Charlotte. Officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police found Currie shortly after 1:15 a.m.; MEDIC took him to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. The location is in the Freedom Division near a nightlife corridor and was reported adjacent to The Woodshed nightclub.

Police initially said no one was being actively pursued and a report referenced by local media described the shooter as a known suspect, while investigators contemporaneously indicated they were not seeking additional persons. Authorities asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit, naming Detective Carter as lead. On October 7, 2025, the department announced the shooting had been classified as a justified homicide and the Mecklenburg County District Attorney’s Office concurred; no charges were filed.

Services and community remembrances were held in the weeks after his death and local LGBTQ outlets noted his ties to Charlotte. If anyone has information about what happened that night, please share it with investigators.
