In the autumn of 2025, the life of Prince Jeffery Tribble, a 32-year-old man from Charlotte, North Carolina, was tragically cut short. On the afternoon of Sunday, November 2nd, Tribble and another man, 23-year-old Caleb Johnson, were in the front yard of a residence on Oakwood Road in north Charlotte when an argument escalated to violence. Gunfire erupted, and both Tribble and Johnson were struck.
Responding to a call about an assault with a deadly weapon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers arrived at the scene shortly before 2:30 p.m. to find the two men with gunshot wounds. Both Prince Tribble and Caleb Johnson were pronounced deceased at the location. The incident was quickly classified as a double homicide, prompting an extensive investigation by the department's Homicide Unit.
The investigation into the double homicide led to an arrest five days later. On November 7, 2025, Rodriguez Chambers, 22, was taken into custody and charged with the murders of both Prince Tribble and Caleb Johnson. Further details from the investigation suggest that the shooting was a drive-by, with the shots being fired from a vehicle with an AK-47. The vehicle reportedly sped away from the scene immediately after the shooting.
