ZackaRyah Jetwane Tyrone Cummings was a 14-year-old student at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology who died on July 4, 2025, in Charlotte, North Carolina. Early reports say a pistol was fired at a residence on the holiday and that the shooting killed him. Family and public memorial pages described his passing as sudden, posted remembrances and candles, and funeral notices scheduled services later in July and listed surviving relatives.

Initial coverage noted circulating suggestions of suicide but also made clear authorities had not confirmed the manner of death and that an autopsy would determine the cause and nature of what happened. No public police release named a suspect or announced an arrest, and contemporaneous reporting did not link charges to the case. Does anyone with information about ZackaRyah’s death or who was at that residence on July 4th have details to share?
