Shooting at Day Break Apartments | Charlotte News

A deadly shooting erupted at the Day Break Apartments in Newton early Sunday, August 16th, with bullet holes riddling multiple units and a car—aimed squarely at one resident. Two suspects are now in custody: 33-year-old Letia Lyerly, facing five counts of shooting into occupied property, attempted first-degree murder, and assault with a deadly weapon—and still jailed without bond; and 25-year-old Dillion Staton, arrested August 28th for allegedly aiding Lyerly’s escape and failing to call for help, charged with seven counts, held on $200K bond with court set for September 17th. Police haven’t confirmed if anyone was struck by gunfire, but the scene was chaotic. Investigators are still seeking tips—contact Newton PD via their tip line or email.
