Curtis Gregory Lampkin, 24, was found dead on October 7, 2024, in a wooded area near Peachtree Drive in southwest Charlotte, North Carolina. A passerby walking a dog discovered his body; Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers pronounced him dead at the scene and identified gunshot wounds as the cause of death.

Investigators traced an earlier altercation at a business park on Nations Crossing Road. Surveillance footage reportedly shows 41-year-old Shamario Tyeast Bethea striking Lampkin and, with the assistance of 33-year-old Bionnah Jeanna Massey, forcing him into the trunk of a white Dodge Charger. That vehicle was later seen near the location where Lampkin’s body was recovered. Court documents mentioned Massey’s belief that Lampkin had stolen from her as a possible motive.

The investigation remains active and authorities ask anyone with information to contact investigators. Did anyone in the area see the white Dodge Charger or know Curtis Lampkin?
