Initial

According to Monroe Police Department, just after 10 p.m. on Saturday, April 24, 2021, officers responded to a call on Gliding Lane regarding a male shot. He was transported to Piedmont Walton where he later died. During this investigation, police were directed to a crashed vehicle near Jack Peters store on East Church Street. In the crashed vehicle, another male was found with a gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The initial investigation appears to link the two incidents.
