On March 11, 2023, 23-year-old LaCarta Roseborough was fatally shot outside the McDonald's restaurant on South Boulevard in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he worked as a manager. The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m., shortly after Roseborough had clocked out and exited the establishment. He was reportedly shot seven times and succumbed to his injuries at a local hospital.
Witnesses described the suspect as a tall, thin individual with dreadlocks, wearing a mask.
Despite these descriptions, no arrests have been made, and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department continues to search for the perpetrator. This tragic event is part of a concerning pattern of violence at the same McDonald's location, which had experienced multiple shootings in the six months preceding Roseborough's death.
In response to the violence, the restaurant's management has been urged to implement enhanced security measures, including improved lighting and increased surveillance. The community, along with Roseborough's grieving family, continues to seek justice and urges anyone with information to come forward to aid in the investigation.
