Coyote Joe’s on Wilkinson Boulevard brings live music to Charlotte.
A man shot and killed another man over the weekend at the popular Coyote Joe’s nightclub in west Charlotte.
The shooting took place about 1:25 a.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the bar, located at 4621 Wilkinson Blvd., according to a CMPD news release. Off-duty officers working for the nightclub heard the gunfire.
Jason Lamar Neal, 41, was killed, according to police.
Andre Tyrell Walker, 44, of the Lake Norman area, was charged with murder. No bond was allowed, according to court records. He was also charged Sunday with trafficking in cocaine.
According to witnesses, including Neal’s girlfriend, the shooting stemmed from a dispute. Before three shots were fired, a witness overheard a man say, “Youngblood you started some problems you didn’t want to deal with but now you have to,” according to a police affidavit filed in court.
The club could not be reached for comment; a phone number listed on its Facebook page did not allow voicemail.
The shooting followed three homicides in Charlotte on Saturday, all of which were unrelated.
Last year, a Charlotte police officer shot and killed an impaired an erratic man at Coyote Joe’s.
