On October 24, 2023, at about 11:55 p.m., a shooting at a Shell station on Beatties Ford Road in Charlotte left 27-year-old Jadarius Marticee McCullough dead at the scene. Two other people were wounded; 19-year-old Quaveon Robinson was critically injured and later died on October 28, 2023, while a third victim survived with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department opened a homicide investigation and on October 27, 2023, arrested 18-year-old Jaylin Lamont Johnson in Kannapolis. Johnson was charged with murder, attempted murder and discharging a firearm within an enclosure to incite fear; after Robinson’s death a second count of murder was added. The shooting prompted community concern about gun violence, and local groups urged nonviolent conflict resolution.

Anyone with information about the shooting or the events that led to it is asked to contact investigators.
