On May 22, 2024, 14-year-old Jonathan Miller was found dead in a wooded area near Ann Elizabeth Drive in Charlotte, North Carolina. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Jonathan was a student at Julius L. Chambers High School in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

In the days after the discovery, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department arrested a 16-year-old who was charged with first-degree murder and held at the Stonewall Jackson Detention Facility. A second suspect, a 15-year-old juvenile, was later identified and arrested on June 13, 2024, and also placed in custody at the same detention facility. The investigation remains active and the community has responded with grief and renewed calls for investment in youth programs and violence prevention.

If anyone knew Jonathan or has information about the events leading to his death, please come forward to assist the ongoing investigation.
