Man Shot in West Charlotte

A BellSouth employee discovered a man shot to death on his porch in West Charlotte, NC. Police said the worker was making a service call in the 2700 block of Parkway Avenue just before 2:30 pm- when he found 43-year-old Derick Jones shot to death. Police said the man was shot multiple times.

The man was seen alive early Wednesday, investigators said. They aren't saying who last saw him or when. Neighbors told police they heard gunshots Wednesday afternoon but no one called 911. Neighbors also said Jones lived with his wife, daughter and two small grandchildren.

Police say they're looking for three black men who were last seen in a late 90s model Ford Explorer around 2pm.
