CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has arrested two people officers say are responsible for killing a man in July 2022.
Allen Scott Leach, 20, and Nevaeh De'Jah Deas, 19, were taken into custody on Wednesday, May 30, 2023.
Leach and Deas are accused of shooting and killing 38-year-old Lamar Kyle Weathers on July 16, 2022. CMPD reported at the time officers responded to a service call just after midnight along North Tryon Street, near Owen Boulevard. Weathers, who had a gunshot wound, was pronounced dead at the scene by Medic.
Both Leach and Deas are charged with murder, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon. Leach is also charged with promoting prostitution, while Deas is charged with misdemeanor prostitution.
Both appeared before a judge Wednesday morning. Leach will remain in jail without bond.

Note: WCNC instituted a new policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
