Murder victim's family speaks out

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A shocking double shooting at a north Charlotte motel is caught on camera, and the daughter of the clerk who was killed says he went to work because he loved being around people.

She says she can't believe the killers would just walk in and brazenly fire at her dad.

"They took my dad and it wasn't his time to go," she said about the retired factory worker who had worked part-time at the Country Hearth Inn since last year.

Weeks away from his 64th birthday, Larry Broughton's daughter says she never imagined she'd lose him this way.

"Maybe him dying in his sleep or maybe him having a heart attack or something like that, but not shot instantly and gone, just like that, no," she said. "They took him away from my kids and his wife and me and my sister and that's not how a person's supposed to die like that, not like that.”

Broughton was shot in the chest. His co-worker, Manjula Patel, who is the motel owner's wife, was also shot and is in serious condition.

Broughton’s daughter says he went to work because he liked the work.

“He really liked doing it," she said. "He's a people person. He'd give them anything he wanted to help them. One minute you have him and then the next minute you don't.”
