On July 9, 2024, about 1:00 a.m., 58-year-old Mustaffa Muhammad was fatally shot while driving home from work on Statesville Avenue in Charlotte, North Carolina. A vehicle pulled alongside his car and the occupants opened fire, and Muhammad died at the scene.

The shooting was part of a broader, roughly 30-minute rampage that night in which several other people were struck or threatened: a cyclist on LaSalle Street, a group on Catherine Simmons Avenue that included a woman hit inside her apartment, and another cyclist on Hilary Circle. Multiple people were injured and neighborhoods were left in fear.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened an investigation into the spree. If anyone witnessed the shootings on Statesville Avenue or elsewhere that morning, or has information about the attacks, please contact investigators. What did readers in those neighborhoods see or hear that night?
