It was approximately eleven-thirty p.m. on the night of January 21st, 2000 in Charlotte, North Carolina, and twenty-nine-year-old Delacey Glover was walking home from a birthday party, accompanied by two friends.
On Central Avenue, a vehicle containing three or four men pulled up alongside Delacey and his companions. One of the individuals in the car asked if they had anything to smoke, but the men on the sidewalk said they didn’t.
As they began walking away, one of the friends overheard one of the men in the back seat of the car talking on a cell phone, saying, “What did the people look like who robbed you?”
Obviously, none of Delacey’s group heard the other end of the conversation, but suddenly, two of the men in the car jumped out and started shooting. Delacey’s two friends ran for it and managed to escape unharmed, but Delacey was not so lucky; he was hit by gunfire and died of his injuries at Carolinas Medical Center hours later.
A five-thousand-dollar reward is still on offer for information leading to the arrest of the perpetrators.
