Wejewen Briston Byers was 16 when he and 20-year-old Robert Lee Cooper were found fatally shot in the street near the 3100 block of Poinsett Street in Charlotte during the early morning hours of June 4, 1991. Charlotte-Mecklenburg officers discovered both victims at the same location; both had apparent gunshot wounds and were dead when found. The case was opened as a double homicide and remains listed among the department’s unsolved cold cases.

No motive, suspect, vehicle, weapon, argument, robbery, gang connection, or person of interest has been publicly identified. The department offers a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Does anyone have information about that morning or recall seeing the area around Poinsett Street on June 4, 1991?
