On October 19, 2023, at about 2:33 p.m., 20-year-old Donyelle Monteith Hill Jr. was shot in the 5200 block of North Sharon Amity Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Hill was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries after emergency responders arrived.

Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department identified 31-year-old Terry Lowery as a suspect and arrested him on October 24, 2023, charging him with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury. Hill died of his injuries on December 28, 2023; homicide detectives then obtained a murder warrant for Lowery. He was apprehended again later that evening, interviewed, charged with murder, and transferred to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.

The CMPD describes the investigation as active and is asking the public for information. If anyone has information about Hill, his movements that day, or the shooting on North Sharon Amity Road, please contact the CMPD.
