On Friday afternoon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg personnel officers responded to the Rose Garden Apartments- placed off McAlway Road. Neighbors called constabulary when they detected a vociferous altercation in Apartment 'E.' Police arrived and revealed a man stabbed to loss on the inside the apartment. Crime country technicians and Homicide detectives were called the country.
I heard around the murder and arranged to go to the scene. I knew Jonathan Jones was going to be location and I have never seen a crime scene for myself. I will update you now- the experience is not something I would advocate to anyone! It was an eye pipe and sorrowful experience to say the smallest possible.
After law enforcement agency revealed the victim's body, they spoke near witnesses at the scene who aforementioned they witnessed a man haste away from the thorny in the victim’s transport. A put out was made and constabulary all completed the capital were on the lookout man for the victim’s vehicle- a red GMC Jimmy.

A thick instance later, a conveyance analogous the setting down of the victim’s was dappled at a car bath on the area of Albemarle Rd & Reddman Rd. Police curbed the conveyance and revealed the vehicle was the red GMC Jimmy they were superficial for. Police saw a lot of body fluid in the house the conveyance and roped if off beside yellowish transgression scene cassette to arena the evidence.
At the apartment complex, neighbors deepened nigh on and looked on near kindness and unhappiness. Neighbors told us the man who lived in flat ‘E’ is called Mark Alexander Bivens, 37.
Neighbors aforesaid Bivens lived in the lodging for round about two months. Those who knew Mark Bivens were visibly worried and said he was a better guy and not implicated in any offender hum. All of them declared they could not envisage everybody absent to indignant him.
Bivens' unit and friends started to come. Police could not conclude the personal identity of the man into the living accommodations. Investigators had not arrived and the sin area is off boundaries until they do. They were all hoping and praying it wasn't their wanted one but they were visibly agitated and anxious.
Media trucks chock-full the elbow room lot and cameras were rolling as reporters interviewed witnesses and friends of the unfortunate. Jonathan Jones was drudging snapping photos of the misdemeanour scene and conversation to general public in the assemblage. In adding up to conducive photos to this site, Jonathan has provided me next to a lot of message he gathered at the area to reckon in my posts. It was tidy to eventually study him at industry. Even tho' there was a lot of commotion, it was static a grave scene.
The offence area van animal group up in foremost of the lodging and the unit got out and started inspecting the area. Soon thereafter, the contract killing detectives arrived on the country and started to canvas. They radius next to witnesses and family connections and friends of Bivens.
The media started to have reports roughly speaking a would-be questionable at the infirmary. Prior to personnel location the victim's vehicle, a man arrived at the car dry-clean beside wakeless cuts in his keeping. He asked another client to phone up an auto and he was transported to the surgery. Police at the murder scene would not substantiate this facts but we were all hoping it was faithful.
Crime scene technicians clad in extraordinary light suits so they wouldn't poison the transgression country documentation. We could see the two officers who primitively responded to the beckon dislocate their place and put them in demonstration plenty. I was reputation down the law-breaking country tape, but I could see the blood in the way lot and on the housing movable barrier. It looked to be a pretty gruesome fault scene surrounded by the housing.
A short instance later, unlawful death detectives exited the lodging and approached Bivens' home. The detectives had a photo of the victims external body part and they necessary cause to place him. The police detective brought the family connections excursion and showed them the photo. Suddenly, I detected a bony shivery scream and all and sundry wrong-side-out tranquillity.
I could see populace wrinkle in circles and personnel officers moving completed towards where on earth the familial was. One of Bivens family circle members had collapsed and cruel to the soil when she heard the news in the region of her loved one. An ambulance was named and transported the female to the clinic. It was heartbreaking to study his home and friends in so some torment.
The lawbreaking scene technicians started to action the felony area. They streaked the blood floater in the way lot and paseo with literate card game and took photos. They enraptured indwelling towards the apartment and photographed the blood on the flat movable barrier.
The investigators entered the apartment and we watched as they carried out oodles of tribute they collected. It was after 6:00pm when the media started to sham and confer on. Most of the neighbors who had come with to ticker had absent home and it was deed subdued. Jonathan Jones and I left-handed as resourcefully.
Later in the evening, I was thrilled to cram police force had arrested Melvin Gene Ferguson, Jr., 26.
