AWARENESS GROUP TO MARCH IN RESPONSE TO NINTH DV-RELATED HOMICIDE OF 2008
Charlotte, NC – The Domestic Violence Advocacy Council invites the public to participate in a march on the Square in uptown Charlotte in response to the ninth domestic violence related homicide in Charlotte-Mecklenburg this year. Police say Elizabeth Michelle Elder, 38, was pronounced deceased in her home on Old lantern Way due to gunshot wounds. Her boyfriend was arrested at the scene and taken in for questioning. He is currently in the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
This march will be in honor of Elder and Roschelle Woyee, 19, who was killed outside her home in East Charlotte last Thursday (12/4). Woyee’s boyfriend has been charged and is currently in custody.
“The march is a bit different this time,” says Mecklenburg County Public Service and Information Officer Mike Sexton. “The march will begin at Trade & Tryon and end at Police Headquarters where a ribbon for Ms. Elder and Ms. Woyee will be placed on the Domestic Violence Memorial Tree that honors all 70 of the victims of domestic violence in the State of North Carolina for 2008.”
These recent domestic violence-related homicides are the eighth and ninth this year in Mecklenburg County. There were 10 for all of 2007. There have now been 70 domestic violence-related homicides in North Carolina so far this year. There were 77 for all of 2007.
