‘It was heartbreaking’: Community mourns death of 3-year-old killed in Charlotte drive-by shooting(WBTV)
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A Charlotte community is in pain. They are angry.
A 3-year-old child was fatally shot during a drive-by in their neighborhood.
Asiah Figueroa was at home Tuesday evening when bullets sprayed into the home on Richard Rozzelle Drive. Upwards of 150 rounds were shot into the home, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police.
Asiah was shot dead, while his 4-year-old sister was grazed by a bullet, but she is expected to recover.
Inside that northwest Charlotte neighborhood, flowers and balloons are placed in remembrance of the young child.
Snip:
Police say, emphatically, they believe teens within Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are responsible.

Are these thugs in some kind of competition with Chicago gangs?
and not a fingerprint to be found...
I watched the video and timed it several times. Funny, I didn’t see anyone policing up brass in those 11 seconds.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Teens”
We know what that means....
........I haven’t cried in over 50 years but I think I would if I saw a 4 year old innocent child shot by punks in such a TOTALLY UN-NECESSARY fashion. I prefer the wood chipper method in this incident.
yup, can’t find what ya don;t look for
“...they believe teens within Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are responsible.”
Like it was a senior class prank.
“We don’t have any TP, so eat some lead!”
I wonder what the target inside the house did to “diss” these honor students. Assuming the idiots had the right house at all.
A close relative is a pediatric ER physician in Charlotte. These cases are tearing her apart.
I am so sorry for her.
Child killers shouldn’t be walking our streets. Seems they know who did this. Enough with drive by shootings.
Rat territory.
Just another day in “gotta catch up with chicago” in the $}{!t}{o£€ that’s charlotte,nc. Most of the firearms used in thugland come from just to the West in gastonia, nc.
These thugs are sooooo tough ! Driving around shooting at houses with Families inside and killing little Children.
May God lay a deadly pox on these coward punks !!!!
Notice that they are scared to come up here because they know that We will return fire. A few months ago they were up here in the middle of the night to break into vehicles for gangthug initiations but it didn’t go well. The MPD and Iredell County Sheriff’s chased them down before they got out of the County and the 1 that did get back to hood territory ran out of GAS before getting to the rathole and Our Sheriff hauled the scumbags back to Our County Jail !!!
If the idiots that run the charlotte $}{!t}{o£€ would package up the thugs and send them to chicago, and do so every week that might give cleaning up charlotte of the bangerthugs a fighting chance.
Police get called out as racist in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ...
I remember when the city council of Charlotte said there were no gangs there, just "groups of teens and young adults."
We get the who, what, where and when,but not the why. Lousy journalism, if you can call it that.
They want you to think the “why” is “guns exist.” When oppressed people of oppressionism colors shoot one another, it’s always the gun’s fault.
Over the years this separation continued to define Charlotte, as the city divided into areas characterized by race and income. Wealthy white families settled in the southeast part of the city, and low- and moderate-income whites resided to the northeast and southwest. African Americans continued to concentrate in the northwest, which only increased when government-sponsored urban renewal policies eradicated the vibrant Brooklyn community.
Tight-lipped classmates will not snitch. Terrible situation in the Queen City. That video was like watching a scene from The Godfather.
I live in Charlotte but rarely pay attention to the local news (usually gag-worthy and left-leaning). Cases like this usually filter thru to me eventually. This is particularly horrendous for the ol’ hometown.
“Richard Rozzelle Drive” is off Rozzelle’s Ferry Rd and Hwy 16/Brookshire Blvd. Not an area you’d want to take the kids for a picnic. Although, I will admit, I rented a car one time (car in the shop), had a flat in the area...and two different people stopped and offered to help me change the tire. I’m white...they were black...so I know I stuck out like a sore thumb.
And while the teens of the hood are killing toddlers and infants St. George of Fentanyl remains the biggest hero in the black community. I really don’t care what they do to each other anymore. It’s just tragic they take out innocent children.
Charlotte has been badly damaged by public housing clusters. People flee in all directions. Its still a good city, growing, lots of beautiful neighborhoods. But private school is a must
