Family, Friends Hold Vigil Marking One Year Since An E. Meck HS Senior Was Gunned Down

CHARLOTTE, NC — Family and friends of an East Mecklenburg High School senior gunned down a year ago are seeking justice.

They held a vigil Monday night in southeast Charlotte for 18-year-old Chris Allen. Allen was shot four times during a party on Kelford Place last February. His younger brother says the tragedy is still fresh a year later.

22-year-old Carlos Olguin is charged with Allen’s murder. His next court date is in April.
