On April 12, 2024, at about 6:40 p.m., 17-year-old Kaleb L. Brown was found in the backyard of a residence on Boswell Road in east Charlotte, North Carolina, with a fatal gunshot wound. Emergency responders pronounced him dead at the scene and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

By April 23, CMPD had arrested a 17-year-old and charged that person with murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Investigators later named 18-year-old Terrance Cordell McKnight Jr. as an additional suspect and said he was considered armed and dangerous; a public appeal was issued asking for help locating him. The investigation remains active and authorities are seeking information to fully resolve what happened.

If anyone knew Kaleb, saw activity on Boswell Road that evening, or has information that could help the investigation, contact CMPD or Crime Stoppers.
