Quentin Stowe, 31, was killed in a shooting shortly before 2:30 a.m. on New Year’s Eve 2025 near the Capitaine Bar & Grill on Rozzelles Ferry Road in west Charlotte. Officers who responded to an assault-with-a-deadly-weapon call found Stowe at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead there.

Reports say a fight broke out while Stowe was eating at the restaurant and that shots were fired during that altercation. Neighbors told investigators the area has seen previous disturbances, including fights and public intoxication, and had prompted calls to police in the past.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Homicide Unit is investigating. No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; detectives are asking anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or Charlotte Crime Stoppers.

Did anyone who was in or near the restaurant that night see what happened or know who was involved?
