Multiple 911 calls of ‘disturbance involving weapons’ lead police to man declared dead
Multiple 911 calls led Mint Hill police to an apartment early Tuesday where officers found an unconscious man whom Medic soon declared dead.
Police later identified the man who was shot as 21-year-old Dylan Payne Sanders of Kannapolis. Sanders was shot multiple times, police said.
Officers arrived at the Stoney Trace apartment complex, formerly Victoria Park, just before 3 a.m. in response to calls about “some type of disturbance with possible weapons involved,” according to a Mill Hill Police Department news release.
Police said they took three people at the apartment into custody for questioning, but no arrests were announced by noon Tuesday.
“At this time nobody else is being sought and there appears to be no danger to the public,” police said in the release.
Later Tuesday, police issued a statement saying they continued to interview people “and are trying to piece together what took place prior to the shooting.”
No charges had been filed as of late Tuesday afternoon.
“All evidence has been collected and officers have cleared the original scene,” police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Mint Hill police Detective Sgt K. McGrath at 704 545-1085.
