For the second time in six weeks, a body has been found in the 4800 block of Wallingford Street, just off West Woodlawn Road, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.
The latest discovery happened just after 2 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 22, when officers responded to reports of an assault with a deadly weapon.
“Upon arrival, officers discovered a victim who sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was pronounced deceased on scene by MEDIC,” CMPD said in a news release.
The identity of the person has not been released and investigators have not said if there is a suspect.
The previous killing on Wallingford happened Oct. 10, and was discovered around 5:30 p.m. when a Medic ambulance responded to reports of a gunshot victim, police said.
Ronald Neville, 53, is believed to have been killed while he was being robbed, CMPD said.
Three men have been arrested in the case and are charged with felony murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy, according to a news release. The men range in age from 22 to 42.
Wallingford Street is just east of Interstate 77 and is only about two blocks long. It is lined with office space and hotels.
