A 3-year-old boy has died and a 4-year-old girl was injured in an overnight drive-by shooting in northwest Charlotte. The suspects, who police believe could be high school students, remain at large.
Shortly before midnight Tuesday, more than 150 shots were fired into the home on Richard Rozzelle Drive, according to the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department.
Asiah Figueroa was shot during the violent drive-by shooting. His 4-year-old sister was also grazed by a bullet but is expected to survive.
“I don't know why this happen and I don’t know why this is going on, why the world can't get together and just love one another,” Figueroa's great-grandmother Susie Whitley said.
Figueroa was transported to Atrium Health's Carolinas Medical Center hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
"He was only three, hadn't lived that long a life, and he was just taken away," Whitley said.
