An ongoing dispute erupted early today into a melee in a northeast Charlotte parking lot that left one dead and two injured with life-threatening injuries.
Police have identified the dead man, but won't release his name until family members are notified. He died from a stab wound and the other two also were stabbed during the fight.
The incident took place about 2:30 a.m. at the Townhomes of Ashebrook at 1939 Eastway Drive. It stemmed from an earlier verbal disagreement at a local bar, according to police. When police arrived to the lot, there were three victims suffering from multiple stab wounds. They were taken to Carolinas Medical Center.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a homicide detective. Detective A. Fant is the lead detective assigned to the case. In addition, you may also call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
