A juvenile’s death in a west Charlotte commercial strip is being investigated by homicide detectives, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.

The juvenile’s identity has not been released, and CMPD stopped short of calling it a homicide in a Dec. 26 news release.

Officers were summoned around 1:20 a.m. Friday, Dec. 26, to the 3400 block of Queen City Drive, and the initial call to MEDIC reported someone in cardiac arrest, CMPD says.

“Upon arrival, officers discovered a juvenile patient who was not breathing. The patient was transported by MEDIC to a local hospital where they were pronounced deceased,” police said.

A cause of death was not released, but MEDIC reports the patient has visible “life-threatening injuries.”

The 3400 block of Queen City Drive is lined with hotels. It is just north of the intersection of Interstate 85 and Billy Graham Parkway in west Charlotte.
