Jonathan Durell Solomon, 38, was fatally shot in Flat Rock, Henderson County, North Carolina, on April 6, 2024. According to the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office Major Crimes Unit, Solomon suffered a gunshot wound to the chest while fleeing an altercation at an apartment complex on Greenville Highway. He was shot at about 12:42 a.m. and died roughly 30 minutes later.

Neighbors described a chaotic early morning scene: one resident saw a body in the grass under floodlights and multiple sheriff’s cars and police tape, while another heard what at first sounded like television gunfire. Sheriff Lowell Griffin said there was no ongoing threat and investigators presented the case to the District Attorney’s Office, which determined no probable cause existed to file criminal charges. The sheriff’s office says the investigation remains active and no arrests have been made.

Solomon’s death certificate lists him as an Asheville resident and a truck driver for a delivery company; funeral services were handled by Wylie Funeral Home in Baltimore on April 20, 2024.
