CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Note: WCNC Charlotte has chosen to use this mugshot because of the nature of the alleged crime.
A suspect is in custody Thursday, accused of shooting a man in uptown Charlotte who later died in the hospital.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said officers arrested 31-year-old Laquan Hoe, charging him with murder. He's accused of killing 30-year-old Aundrey Brown.
Brown was one of four people wounded in a shooting on June 8, 2024, along North Tryon Street. CMPD said an argument among a group of people in the parking lot of a business led to the shooting. Hoe reportedly went to his car to get a gun and returned to the parking lot, opening fire.
While the other three victims were hospitalized with less severe injuries, Brown had life-threatening injuries at the time. He died of his injuries about a month later.
CMPD said the investigation is still ongoing and are seeking more information about what happened. Anyone who wants to offer tips can call (704) 432-TIPS to talk with a detective. Anonymous tips can be shared with Crime Stoppers online or by calling (704) 334-1600.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
