The Charlotte community is grieving after two people lost their lives in a tragic incident outside a northeast Charlotte establishment early Sunday morning. What began as a normal night quickly turned into heartbreak, leaving families, friends, and neighbors struggling to understand how such a devastating moment unfolded so suddenly.
The tragedy took place around 4:47 a.m. on November 30 outside Queen’s Cabaret on Atando Avenue. Police and first responders arrived after receiving reports of gunfire and found two individuals suffering from severe injuries. One of the victims, 29-year-old D’andre Weaver, was discovered at the scene and rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Despite the efforts of medical teams, D’andre later passed away, leaving his loved ones shattered.
D’andre is being remembered as a young man full of life, warmth, and genuine kindness. Friends recall his steady humor, his loyalty, and the positive energy he carried everywhere he went. His family describes him as someone with dreams, purpose, and a future he was working hard to build. His passing leaves behind a deep emptiness that words can’t fully capture, a reminder of how treasured he was by everyone fortunate enough to know him.
The second victim, whose name had not yet been released, was found nearby inside a crashed vehicle shortly after the shooting. Emergency crews transported this individual to the hospital as well, but they tragically passed away from their injuries. Although their identity remains undisclosed, they too leave behind loved ones now facing unimaginable grief. Their family is mourning the sudden loss, trying to find strength as they navigate the first painful days without someone they held dear.
As investigators work to uncover what led to the deadly shooting, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward. Authorities hope that community cooperation will bring answers, provide clarity, and help honor the memories of the two lives lost. Anonymous tips are also being accepted as the investigation continues.
Across Charlotte, people are gathering to support both families through candlelight vigils, prayers, and shared memories. The community is focusing not on the violence that ended these lives, but on the love, joy, and humanity both individuals brought into the world. Their stories now serve as heartbreaking reminders of how precious life is—and how deeply every life lost is mourned and remembered.
