On June 4, 2008, Jacques Rendell Timbers, an 18-year-old, was shot and killed in what appeared to be a drive-by shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina. The incident occurred around 12:50 AM on Forest Pond Drive. Authorities believe the attack may have been related to an earlier altercation involving Timbers. When first responders arrived, Timbers was found lying in the front yard of a residence, severely injured from gunshot wounds. Despite emergency efforts, he did not survive.
Timbers’ death is one of several unsolved homicide cases in Charlotte. His family and local authorities have sought information from the community, offering a reward for tips that might lead to an arrest. The case remains part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s ongoing cold case investigations, underscoring the continued struggle for justice in the face of unresolved gun violence.
