Detectives with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Homicide Unit and A/D/W Unit are conducting an investigation into a shooting that occurred at 4682 Perth Court, located in the North Tryon Division. The shooting left two people deceased. The victims have been identified as Edris Gbarlee Juyenneh Dickson and Darron Orlando Davis.
North Tryon Division officers responded to the Park Creek Apartments to investigate multiple calls to 911 that gunshots had been fired inside an apartment. When officers arrived on the scene, they located a male and a female inside the residence, both suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The male victim was transported with life threatening injuries by Medic to Carolinas Medical Center. The female was pronounced deceased on scene by Medic.
Based upon information and evidence gathered on the scene, the female shot her boyfriend multiple times and then turned the gun on herself. In addition, at the time of the shooting, a female called 911 and stated that she had shot her boyfriend; she then hung up the phone.
At this time, there is no reason to believe that there is anyone else involved in this shooting. This incident was not a random act of violence.
