Officers Ordered To Remain Mum On Investigation Into Deadly CMPD Shootings:
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department has been instructed to not release any information regarding the investigation of the shooting deaths of officers Jeffrey Shelton and Sean Clark.
District Attorney Peter Gilchrist confirmed that he has instructed Charlotte-Mecklenburg police to release no more information about the case against Montgomery and the investigation that surrounds it.
Gilchrist says talking about whether the murder weapon has been found or whether police are still looking for it, or even whether Montgomery’s hands have been tested for gunshot residue, could hurt the investigation.
I am personally very happy with this decision. If a conviction is eventually handed down I don’t want there to be any doubt or causes for endless appeals. I’m sure the families, friends, and co-workers of officers Clark and Shelton do too.
