Darius Deon Chapman, 33, was fatally shot around 6 a.m. on September 18, 2016, on Brookshire Boulevard near Interstate 85 in Charlotte, North Carolina. A Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer who stopped after seeing what appeared to be a car accident found Chapman inside a vehicle with a gunshot wound; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man was found outside the vehicle with a gunshot wound to the arm and taken to a hospital.

Chapman, known as Coach D, was a familiar figure in his neighborhood and worked extensively with youth sports, mentoring players with the West Charlotte Hornets. He attended Paw Creek Elementary, Coulwood Middle and West Charlotte Senior High School, and was a devoted father to two daughters. Funeral services were held September 24, 2016, at New Life Fellowship Center; he was buried at York Memorial Park.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened an investigation but did not release suspect or motive information, and no arrests had been announced. Can anyone with information about what happened that morning or Chapman’s activities prior to the shooting help investigators?
