911 Calls Released After East Meck Student Shot And Killed
911 calls:
UPDATE: CMPD has arrested a man for the murder of an East Meck football player. Carlos Olguin has been charged with the murder of Christian Allen.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Still no arrests in the case of an East Meck football player shot and killed at a party Sunday night.
Monday, Chris Allen’s friends and teammates gathered outside East Mecklenburg High School, trying to make sense of the murder some of them just witnessed less than 24 hours earlier. “I was two minutes from falling asleep when I got that call, and I had to go wake my parents up and tell them what just happened,” Dakota Allen, Chris Allen’s little brother, told WCCB Charlotte.
It was just before 11pm Sunday night when police say the teens called 911 from a home on Kelford Ln. Police say Allen and the suspect got into an argument, and the suspect fired a gun. Allen later died at the hospital.
“I wish I would have said bye when he walked out the house, but I just didn’t think anything of it. Just a normal day,” said Dakota Allen.
Allen was a senior football player at East Meck. His father told WCCB Charlotte Allen wanted to be a police officer one day. “He was considerate. Definitely one of the least selfish person I know,” said Dakota Allen.
CMPD had not named a suspect in his case by Monday evening. “Just to put this guy behind bars would mean the most of everything to the whole family,” said Dakota Allen.
Allen’s death is the 12th homicide in Charlotte in two months.
