Β CHARLOTTE, NC — An outpouring of support for Charlotte’s third domestic violence murder victim of the year. Β Dozens of people lit candles and said prayers at a vigil in Cordelia Park. Β Police say 44-year-old Jestine Clyburn was shot and killed during a fight at her home in the Hidden Valley neighborhood last Wednesday night.
“Unfortunately, she’s not the first that I have lost to violence, and it is my prayer that as a city, we start uniting as one and take a stand against violence, because at the end of the day, it’s senseless,” said Clyburn’s cousin, Mario Black.
WCCB has learned the man charged with Clyburn’s murder died in jail. Β According to a police report, 55-year-old Paul Williams died from cardiac arrest Friday night. Β Officers were called to the jail around 8p.m. for a death investigation.
