In the early morning hours of Friday, March 27, 2026, the quiet of a north Charlotte apartment complex was shattered by the discovery of a homicide. Alisha Shanell Lewis, a 35-year-old woman, was found deceased in her third-floor apartment on High Glen Drive. The cause of her death was determined to be multiple gunshot wounds.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers responded to the scene after receiving a call around 9:30 a.m. regarding a shooting into an occupied dwelling.
Upon their arrival, they found Ms. Lewis with life-threatening injuries, and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators believe the shooting actually occurred on the night of Thursday, March 26, 2026. A neighbor reported hearing several gunshots that evening and alerted the police, but the scene was not located until the following morning when another neighbor made the discovery. Evidence at the scene, including bullet holes in the apartment's exterior, suggested that the shots had been fired from outside the building.
The investigation into Alisha Shanell Lewis's death is ongoing, and authorities have classified it as a homicide. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has appealed to the public for any information that may lead to the identification and apprehension of the person or persons responsible for this act of violence. At this time, no arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified. Friends and family of Ms. Lewis held a homegoing service to celebrate her life and mourn their loss.
