Ronald Neville, 53, was found shot to death inside a room at the Motel 6 on Wallingford Street in south Charlotte on the evening of October 10, 2025. Officers were dispatched about 5:32 p.m.; MEDIC pronounced him dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds and detectives opened a homicide investigation in the 4800 block of Wallingford.

Investigators describe a brief, violent break-in by three men who forced their way into Neville’s room, with gunfire erupting within seconds. Surveillance footage captured the suspects’ movements before and after the shooting; one man fled carrying a backpack that did not belong to him and court documents say it contained about $100 worth of items. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police identified 32-year-old Ronnie Fewell as a suspect and arrested him the following week; he faces felony murder, robbery with a dangerous weapon and felony conspiracy charges and is being held without bond. Detectives said multiple people were involved and the investigation to identify additional suspects is ongoing.
