CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said what they originally thought was the city's second homicide of the year, was actually a suicide Saturday in east Charlotte near Matthews.
Officers were called to 2843 Longspur Drive shortly after 11:00 a.m. after an assault with a deadly weapon call.
Investigators said they found a man dead in the street in front of a home on Longspur Drive. Officers discovered the man was an ex-boyfriend of one of the women in the home. He showed up and got into a fight with the woman's current boyfriend. Officers said he shot at the new boyfriend and missed, then went outside and killed himself.
Officers said the other man had a wound, but it's not clear how he was hurt. He's expected to be OK and will not face charges because police believe he was defending himself in the argument.
No names have been released.
Anyone with additional information concerning this case should contact lead investigator Susan Manassah at 704-432-TIPS. The public may also phone in anonymous tips to Crime Stoppers Tip Line at 704-334-1600.
