Police Search For North Charlotte Drive-By Shooter

CHARLOTTE, NC — Charlotte police are asking for the public’s help in locating a silver Honda they say they believe belongs to a suspected gunman who drove alongside another vehicle on Shamrock Drive Friday and opened fire.

The June 8 shooting in the 3500 block of Shamrock Drive occurred shortly after 7:30 p.m., according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. The victim, who CMPD has identified as Luis Ricardo Hernandez-Sesate, was taken to an area hospital where he remains with non-life threatening injuries.

CMPD detectives released a photo of the suspected vehicle involved in the shooting and say it is described as a silver Honda with a sunroof and may possibly have a damaged or missing passenger side mirror.
