On March 10, 2026, a welfare check at an east Charlotte apartment led officers to the concealed body of 26-year-old Evelin Carolina Enamorado-Cisnado. Her body was found inside a closet, hidden behind a door and covered with towels and blankets; investigators said decomposition showed she had been dead for some time. The medical examiner determined the cause of death to be a gunshot wound.

Police arrested 23-year-old Lhis Brito-Costa the next day, March 11, 2026, and charged her with first-degree murder. Court records described a tumultuous relationship between the two women, and prosecutors say Brito-Costa told investigators she shot Enamorado-Cisnado after learning she was involved with someone else. A judge ordered Brito-Costa held without bond, and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed a detainer on her.

Did anyone in the Charlotte area know Evelin or have information about her relationship with Brito-Cisnado?
