On October 29, 2024, at about 4:45 a.m., 46-year-old Jeremy Moore was fatally shot at the Circle Arkade, an adult gaming establishment on Sunset Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Two other patrons — a 54-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman — were seriously injured and taken to a local hospital. CMPD says the suspect attempted to rob the business and used one of the victims as a human shield during the incident.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened a homicide investigation; as of the latest report there have been no arrests. CMPD warned that crimes at similar gambling establishments have been rising across the city, and the community has expressed concern about safety. A memorial service for Moore was held on November 9, 2024, and his family and friends remember him as a cherished member of the community.

If anyone was at Circle Arkade early on October 29 or has information that could help the investigation, please contact CMPD’s Homicide Unit or Crime Stoppers.
