On July 7, 2023, in Charlotte, North Carolina, 42-year-old Santavius McBride was found dead in her Foxford Place home from a gunshot wound. Her son discovered her around noon and called emergency services. Santavius was a mother to four boys.

Within an hour of the 911 call, her 23-year-old son, Marques McBride, went to the Independence Division Patrol Office and told officers he wanted to turn himself in. He was taken to the Law Enforcement Center in uptown Charlotte, where he confessed to homicide detectives and was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Investigators said the shooting followed ongoing arguments between Santavius and Marques about his unemployment; Marques had been living with his mother and became increasingly frustrated over those discussions, and on the day of the incident fatally shot her during another argument before leaving the scene and later surrendering.

Did anyone who knew Santavius or her family notice escalating tensions before July 7, 2023?
