Joshua Schulman, a 25-year-old male from Charlotte, NC, tragically passed away on August 21, 2017. Joshua, who was affectionately known as Josh, was a graduate of Charlotte Latin School and had furthered his studies at The University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa. He was a beloved member of the ZBT Fraternity and was known for his caring, loving, and generous nature.
Josh Schulman was killed execution-style during a home invasion in south Charlotte.
On the night of the incident, at least two assailants broke into the home he shared with his father, Larry Schulman. The intruders assaulted and shot both Josh and his father. While Larry Schulman survived the attack, Josh succumbed to his injuries. The crime was particularly brutal, with Josh being shot in the head.
The investigation into Josh Schulman's murder has been ongoing, with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department working diligently to solve the case. Initially, the police focused on Larry Schulman as a suspect, believing he might have been involved in the shooting. However, this theory was later dismissed, and the investigation shifted focus. Despite the efforts of the CMPD and the involvement of private investigators hired by the Schulman family, the case remains unsolved.
Josh Schulman's death has left a lasting impact on his family and friends. His mother, Andrea Domingue, has expressed her hope that those responsible for her son's death will be brought to justice. The family has also added to the CrimeStoppers reward, offering $15,000 for any information that could help solve the case. The CMPD continues to follow leads and has entered DNA evidence into the Combined DNA Index System in hopes of finding a match.
Josh Schulman's legacy lives on through his generous act of organ donation, which has impacted six lives. His family and friends remember him as a kind-hearted and gentle man who did not deserve to die in such a violent manner. The search for justice continues, with the hope that one day, those responsible for this heinous crime will be held accountable.
