Emily Lizama Alvarez, a 20-year-old Latina woman, was shot on February 8, 2025, in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was found inside a crashed vehicle on Vinton Street with a gunshot wound and was taken to Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center, where she died on February 12, 2025.

Authorities investigated her death as a homicide and later charged a juvenile suspect with first-degree murder. The suspect was already in custody at the Stonewall Jackson Youth Development Center on an unrelated charge when charged; the suspect’s identity has not been disclosed because of their age. The investigation remains ongoing.

Did anyone in the Charlotte area see activity on Vinton Street around February 8 that could help the investigation?
