On the evening of May 6, 2023, at about 9:00 p.m., Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers responded to an assault with a deadly weapon in the 5800 block of Old Providence Road and found 43-year-old Gerald Devontrae McQueary with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Atrium Health’s Carolinas Medical Center, where he was later pronounced deceased. The shooting happened near the Gladedale Apartments, described as a typically quiet residential area where McQueary had been a long-term resident for more than two decades.

CMPD’s Homicide Unit processed the scene and collected physical evidence but no arrests have been announced and suspects remain unidentified. Two days after the homicide, on May 8, 2023, shots were fired into the apartment where McQueary’s family lived; no one was injured but a bullet was recovered lodged in a bedroom headboard. CMPD has not disclosed a motive or confirmed a connection between the two shootings, and detectives have asked anyone with information to contact the Homicide Unit or submit tips through Crime Stoppers.

Does anyone who knew Gerald or who was in the Gladedale Apartments area on May 6–8, 2023 have information that could help investigators?
