Kevin Washington was 18 when he was fatally shot during a party on Timbertop Lane in East Charlotte on July 15, 2012. He had just graduated high school and planned to study nursing at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The gathering turned violent; Washington was killed and two others were injured.

No arrests were announced immediately after the shooting, and his family and community held vigils, including events with Mothers of Murdered Offspring, to honor him and press for answers. His death was cited as part of a troubling spike in gun violence affecting Charlotte’s youth that year.

If anyone attended that party or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
