On June 25, 2008, Darrel Christopher Barringer, age 33, was shot multiple times in a parking lot located on the 6000 block of Elgywood Lane in Charlotte, North Carolina. Barringer survived the initial attack and was transported to Carolinas Medical Center (CMC), where he underwent treatment. He was released from the hospital on July 7, 2008, but tragically, his recovery was cut short. On August 5, 2008, Barringer was found unresponsive at his residence.
He was taken to CMC-University, where he was pronounced dead. An autopsy revealed that a blood clot, a complication from the original shooting, caused his death.
The case remains open, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department continues to seek information that could lead to an arrest. Investigators have classified it as a homicide resulting from the injuries sustained in the shooting.
