On July 8, 2024, 29-year-old Lamarcus Jackson was fatally shot on Parker Drive in west Charlotte during a quadruple shooting that also wounded three others, ages 23, 17, and 20. The shooting occurred at about 9 p.m.; emergency responders took Jackson and the other victims to hospital, and Jackson later died there. The three surviving victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened an investigation and described this incident as part of a string of related shootings described as random and deadly. As of July 9, 2024, no arrest had been announced in the Parker Drive shooting. Police did arrest 62-year-old Luis Gonzalez on a voluntary manslaughter charge in connection with a different shooting in the same series, but that arrest was not linked to Jackson’s death. CMPD offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the deadly shooting spree.

A Celebration of Life service for Jackson was scheduled for Friday, July 19, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. Anyone with information about the Parker Drive shooting is asked to contact authorities.
