CHARLOTTE, NC (THECOUNT) — Ina Michelle Lang, 50, the woman fatally shot near a northwest Charlotte Bank of America on Friday morning, worked as a Senior Banker at the bank, according to a friend’s post on social media. Mike Lang, the victim’s husband, also confirmed the death.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) officers responded shortly after 10:30 a.m. Friday, Feb. 6, to reports of a shooting in the parking lot along Callabridge Court near Brookshire Boulevard. Police found a female victim suffering from a gunshot wound and she was pronounced dead at the scene by emergency medical personnel.

Lang had worked for Bank of America since 2009 and was serving as a Senior Banker at the time of her death. A former coworker from Universal Orlando Resort Starbucks also confirmed Lang’s death in a social media post. This reporting has been independently corroborated by the user providing the information; CMPD has not yet released additional personal details.

The incident occurred near the Bank of America branch located 9715 Callabridge Court in northwest Charlotte. Police are treating the shooting as a homicide and have said the investigation remains active.

CMPD spokespersons confirmed that a SWAT situation later in the evening on Red Robin Street in west Charlotte was connected to this homicide and that a suspect was taken into custody during that operation.
