On May 19, 2023, at about 9:30 a.m., officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to a reported shooting on Julia Avenue in north Charlotte and found 54-year-old Carl George Brown dead at the scene from apparent gunshot wounds. CMPD opened a homicide investigation, canvassed the neighborhood and reviewed surveillance footage but did not develop immediate leads or identify suspects.

Investigators continued to pursue leads in the months after the killing, but as of December 23, 2024 there were no public reports of arrests or suspect identifications and the case remains unsolved. Anyone who was in the area that morning or who has information about the shooting is urged to contact CMPD to help bring closure for Brown’s family.
