CMPD Detectives Investigating Homicide on Countryside Drive

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police detectives are investigating the shooting death of Servando Barriquera Roldan, 32. The shooting occurred just after 4:30 am at 6338 Countryside Drive off of North Tryon Street.

Police say Officers and Medic responded to a call for service in which the caller indicated they had heard multiple shots fired and reported that a Hispanic male was lying in the doorway of an apartment, bleeding. The victim had been shot several times and was pronounced deceased at Carolinas Medical Center shortly before 5:30 am.

The motive for the shooting is unclear.
