Woman kills man in scuffle
Police are investigating the fatal shooting in southeast Charlotte that might have resulted from a scuffle between a man and a woman.
Details remain murky this morning, but police confirm that a man was shot and killed about 11:15 p.m. Thursday night at an apartment complex in the 1100 block of McIlway Road. That's between Monroe and Randolph roads.
Police said they were called to the apartments and found the body of a man in the parking lot. He had been shot, officers say.
About a half-hour later, police were called to Presbyterian Hospital, where a woman had arrived with a gunshot wound.
During questioning, police quickly determined that the female shooting victim was involved in the death of the man on McIlway Road.
The woman told police that she had been attacked by the man, and a scuffle started. During the fight, she said, the woman was able to pull a handgun away from the man. The woman said she then shot the man.
Police homicide detectives are investigating the case and are asking the public for help. Anyone who might have seen the incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers, at 704-334-1600.
The identities of the man and woman have not been released. They have been described only as a black male and a black female.
