Devon Simmons was shot and killed on January 24, 2023, at about 10:30 p.m. at the Citgo station on West Sugar Creek Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. Officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department found the 30-year-old at the gas pumps with multiple gunshot wounds; medical personnel pronounced him dead at the scene. The shooter fled immediately after the shooting.

The next day, January 25, 2023, 45-year-old Earl Marcelius Likely was arrested and charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with Simmons’ death. Those charges were later dismissed in July 2024 without leave; the dismissal was not the result of a plea agreement. As of December 2024 no new suspects have been publicly identified or arrested, and key details about why the charges were dropped have not been disclosed.
