Family of 2013 homicide victim to hold news conference

The family of a 24-year-old man shot to death in the parking lot of Club 935 on Feb. 22, 2013, will hold a news conference at noon Saturday to ask the public for new information regarding his killing.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced the news conference on Friday, saying the fatal shooting of Paul Anthony Fyffe Jr. remains unsolved.

The family will hold the news conference at Bryant Street and South Summit Avenue. Club 935, a hip hop and R&B night club, is on South Summit Avenue.

At 2:30 a.m. Feb. 22, 2013, police responded to a report of shots being fired in the parking lot of Club 935 and found a man later identified as Fyffe suffering from a gunshot wound.

Fyffe was taken to Carolinas Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police said at the time that Fyffe was a patron at the club and that whoever shot him was, too.

After the shooting, several of Fyffe’s family members traveled from their home in the Boston area to ask for the public’s help.

"We do not live here. We do not have many friends and family here,” Royal O'Connor, Fyffe’s cousin, said at the time. “We implore the public for your support, for your assistance and for any information you can lend to us.”

Fyffe was seeking a degree from Johnson C. Smith University.
