CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A 19-year-old has been charged in connection to a 2021 Charlotte homicide, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. He was already in custody in Mecklenburg County for an unrelated murder.
WCNC Charlotte is choosing to show the mugshot of the suspect in this case because of the severity of the crimes committed.
In July of 2021, 33-year-old Michael Camp died from his injuries after being shot in the area of Pressley Road, between Clanton Road and South Tryon Street.
Over two years later, 19-year-old Cameron Sadler was charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Camp's next of kin has been informed of the arrest.
The investigation is still active, and anyone with information is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak to a detective.
Note: WCNC instituted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
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.
