CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A 19-year-old is facing multiple charges after a
shooting that injured five people during a New Year's Eve celebration in
Uptown Charlotte, police confirmed Monday. CMPD has also arrested and
charged 12 other people for their actions in the area.
The shooting happened around Romare Bearden Park at 11:30 p.m. on
Sunday, according to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.
Investigators say a person shot into a crowd, striking five people. CMPD
announced Monday that 19-year-old Daevion Markeith Crawford is charged
with shooting into the crowded park. Crawford is charged with five
counts of assault with a deadly weapon, as well as going armed to the
terror of the people.
“It’s pretty crazy, we did hear some shots going up, we don’t really
know what’s going on, everyone started running the other way," witness
Isaiah Jonas said.

“We have 12 more calendar months to go and we're still talking about the
same issue that left a bad taste in our mouth in 2023," District 2
Charlotte City Council Member Malcolm Graham said.
Graham believes violence among our youth is fueled by several different
factors. He said at times, it can be a lack of parental supervision or
how easily accessible guns have become.

“Having individuals under 19 having those guns in their hands with no
conflict resolution other than pulling the trigger is problematic,"
Graham said.
Graham said they're working hard to develop solutions to the problem,
but teen crime is an issue that will take everyone to solve.
“We’re calling upon members of the faith community nonprofits,
grassroots organizations, and government to see what we can do
collectively together," Graham said.
The latest statistics from CMPD show shootings involving minors were up
32% in 2023 compared to in 2022. Teenagers also make up 70% of auto
theft arrests and total juvenile arrests are up 36%.
Meanwhile, this isn't the first time a violent incident has happened at
Romare Bearden Park.
Back in July, 32 people were arrested or cited, after CMPD says a group
of teens started fighting during a firework show.
“I think CMPD and the prevention units do a really good job," Graham
said. "But you can’t prevent that right, someone walking in a crowd and
discharging a firearm, you can’t check everyone coming to Uptown
Charlotte.”
“We have to start creating programs and creating framework and models
that highlight violence as a problem," Heal Charlotte Founder Greg
Jackson said.
Jackson said something different needs to be done when large crowds
gather in Uptown.
“Who are we going to have out there to help navigate and look around and
kind of oversee, from the community, not police officers but people who
are from the community," Jackson said. "They want to make sure that
these bigger events, that when we leave everyone is safe, everyone is
okay."
A woman who lives at an apartment complex next to the park told WCNC
Charlotte that before the shooting, she saw young people creating chaos,
like stopping and jumping on cars.
In addition to Crawford's arrest, CMPD said 12 other individuals have
been charged for causing disturbances in Uptown. Of the 12 individuals,
11 are juveniles.
Officers also seized two guns and charged six of the arrested juveniles'
parents or guardians with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
Charges for the additional 12 people include assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to kill, assault on a government official, going
armed to the terror of the public, and resisting arrest, among others.
CMPD also said that two officers suffered minor injuries after being
assaulted and another officer was injured after someone threw an
"unknown chemical substance" at the officer.
Crawford was given a $750,000 bond.
All five people who were hurt were shot below the knee and are expected
to be OK, according to CMPD.
Police are asking anyone who has information about this investigation to
call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or visit
