CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — November 8, 2025. Police have arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with a double homicide earlier this month in north Charlotte, authorities confirmed Thursday.
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD), officers responded to reports of gunfire around 2:30 p.m. on November 2 along Oakwood Road, just off Statesville Avenue. When they arrived, they found Caleb Johnson, 23, and Prince Tribble, 32, suffering from gunshot wounds. Both men were pronounced dead at the scene.
