On April 8, 1992, 31-year-old John Carl Marthers was fatally shot during an attempted robbery on Echodale Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to investigators, Marthers was in a borrowed vehicle when a dark car carrying several people approached, demanded money, shot him, and left. Severely wounded, Marthers nevertheless managed to drive back to his apartment; his wife called 911 and he was taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where he died the following day.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police continue to keep the case open and have offered a reward of up to $5,000 for tips that lead to an arrest. No arrest is mentioned in this account. If anyone knew about the incident, the vehicle, or the people involved, please share what you know. Would anyone with information about that night or those vehicles step forward?
