Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are investigating the shooting death of a Hispanic male that occurred just after 4:30 a.m. on June 22, 2008 at 6338 Countryside Drive off of North Tryon Street. He had recently moved into the apartment and his roommates only know him by his first name, which is Servando. The victim had no identification on him. He appears to be in his late 20's. Police are seeking the public's help identifying him.

Officers and Medic responded to a call for service in which the caller indicated they had heard multiple shots fired and reported that a Hispanic male was lying in the doorway of an apartment, bleeding. The victim had been shot several times and was pronounced deceased at Carolinas Medical Center shortly before 5:30 a.m.

CMPD officers and detectives have been canvassing the neighborhood and are interviewing people who may have knowledge of the incident. Some people reported seeing a large dark-colored SUV occupied by three Hispanic males, possibly late teens or early 20's, driving away at a high rate of speed immediately after the shots were fired. The motive for the shooting is unclear. Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
