Ina Michelle Lang was fatally shot outside the Bank of America branch on Callabridge Court in northwest Charlotte on the morning of Friday, February 6, 2026. Police say the shooting occurred about 10:30 a.m. while Lang, 50, was believed to be on a smoke break near the ATM. Emergency responders pronounced her dead at the scene from a gunshot wound after multiple 911 calls.

Witnesses reported hearing two shots and seeing a person get into a yellow Dodge Charger with black racing stripes. Surveillance footage reportedly shows a suspect exiting that vehicle, walking directly to Lang, shooting her twice in the back, and then leaving. Police tracked a vehicle matching that description to a home near the Charlotte airport and later arrested 22-year-old Sam’on Andrew Smith at his mother’s house; he was charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond. Authorities have not disclosed a motive.

Lang had worked nearly 20 years at the bank, rising from teller to an office position, and is survived by her husband of eight years and five children; colleagues and customers left a memorial outside the branch. Does anyone have information about the yellow Dodge Charger or saw activity near Callabridge Court that morning?
