Police said one person has died. It's the third homicide in Charlotte within 24 hours.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department is investigating a homicide in northeast Charlotte. It's the third homicide investigation in Charlotte within 24 hours.

CMPD said it happened Sunday in the 10000 block of Margie Ann Drive, which is near University City Boulevard and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. 

CMPD got to the scene shortly after 6 p.m. Sunday after reports of an assault with a deadly weapon. When they arrived, officers found 21-year-old Delvin Teah with a gunshot wound in the parking lot of the Robinsdale Apartments. 

Police said he was inside of a vehicle that had struck a tree. 

Mecklenburg EMS responded to the scene for a gunshot wound call, saying one person died at the scene.

Police have not provided any details on a possible suspect. Details surrounding the investigation are very limited.

It was the second homicide in Charlotte Sunday, as CMPD announced earlier in the afternoon that a homicide investigation was underway on Cushman Street in the northeast Charlotte area near Sugar Creek Community Park.
