CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A Charlotte shooting that wounded four people early in June 2024 has turned deadly after one victim died of his injuries a month later.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said Tuesday 30-year-old Aundrey Brown Jr. died of his injuries on July 8. His next of kin have been notified. CMPD is now treating the investigation as a homicide.
Brown was one of four people shot along North Tryon Treet near West 9th Street on June 8, around 2 a.m. Officers said they responded to an assault with a deadly weapon and found Brown wounded, along with two women and another man. All four were taken to a local hospital for treatment. While the other three victims faced non-life-threatening injuries, Brown's injuries were deemed life-threatening at the time.
CMPD said a review of surveillance footage showed an argument happened before shots rang out. A man reportedly went to his car to get a gun and returned to the parking lot, taking aim at Brown and the others. The argument unfolded after a group of people weren't allowed into a business.
As of publication, a suspect has not been arrested and the investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information that could aid in the police investigation can call 704-432-TIPS to talk directly with a detective. Tips can also be anonymously shared with Crime Stoppers online or by calling 704-334-1600.
The shooting that claimed Brown's life was one of two that unfolded in Uptown on June 8. The other shooting happened along East Trade Street near South College Street. One person was seriously injured and hospitalized as a result.
