Two people shot near a condemned northeast Charlotte hotel died shortly after being taken the hospital, a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police major said.
The shooting occurred Thursday in the 4400 block of Eddleman Road, said Maj. Michael Anderson in a video posted to X.
Both people had gunshot wounds, Anderson said. The individuals were not identified and CMPD did not release further details.
Observer news partner WSOC posted a photo showing yellow crime scene tape near the Lamplighter Inn, located at 4425 Eddleman Road.
A Charlotte Observer investigation published in July 2024 found tenants — many of whom were homeless — lived in poor conditions after a nonprofit housing program that advertised housing search assistance backed out. Local nonprofits eventually moved tenants out and the Charlotte Fire Department condemned and boarded up the building in December.
Police asked people with information about Thursday’s shooting to contact CMPD’s homicide unit at 704-432-8477.
This is a developing story.
