CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte community is mourning the violent death of 44-year-old Jeremy Mouzon, who was fatally stabbed and struck by a vehicle in the early hours of Sunday, August 3. Police have launched a full-scale homicide investigation into what they believe was a targeted and deeply disturbing act.
Jeremy Mouzon was a 44-year-old resident of northeast Charlotte. While few personal details have been publicly released, neighbors described him as quiet and respectful. His sudden and violent death has shocked those who knew him and left a deep sense of loss in the community.
At approximately 3:00 a.m., Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) officers responded to a medical emergency call on Redwood Avenue near East Sugar Creek Road, in the northeast part of the city near the NoDa neighborhood.
Upon arrival, officers found Mouzon critically injured, suffering from multiple stab wounds and trauma consistent with being hit by a vehicle. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators believe Mouzon was attacked both at his residence and on the street. A follow-up search of his nearby apartment revealed signs of forced entry, indicating the violence may have begun there before continuing outside.
The case was initially treated as a death investigation but was quickly reclassified as a homicide based on the evidence found.
