A deadly shooting at about 1:05 a.m. on Statesville Avenue started the 30-minute rampage, officials with CMPD said. Mustaffa Muhammad, 58, was shot and killed inside his car on Statesville Avenue. Loved ones said he was returning home from work.
Then at about 1:09 a.m., someone shot at a bicyclist near the intersection of Newland Road and LaSalle Street. Just after that, officers found a victim who said his vehicle was shot while he was driving on LaSalle Street near Interstate 77. Neither of those victims were hurt.
At about 1:11 a.m., someone in a vehicle shot at a group in the 2100 block of Catherine Simmons Avenue. Rounds were also shot into an apartment, hitting a female, CMPD said. She was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Then at about 1:25 a.m., a gunman shot a bicyclist riding on Nations Ford Road in southwest Charlotte. The victim had non-life-threatening injuries. A round struck an apartment building on Kingsford Drive, as well.
