 CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man charged with shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend early Sunday morning in west Charlotte was arrested overnight in Detroit, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police announced this morning.

Tracy Serveria Gilliam
Investigators say Tracy Gilliam, 27, shot LaSheira Hall, 29, at her aunt’s house on Avalon Road near Tuckaseegee Road at about 5 a.m. Sunday after they argued.

Hall was a mother of three children under 10, and Gilliam is the father of her 6-month-old daughter. Family members said Hall was holding their baby when she was shot.

Witnesses told police that Gilliam ran from the house. Investigators obtained a murder warrant and began looking for him.

Someone phoned in a tip to Detroit police that Gilliam was hiding out in a northeast area of the city. He was soon apprehended, a CMPD spokesperson said.

CMPD homicide detectives are travelling to Detroit to arrange for Gilliam’s extradition back to Charlotte.

Court records show Gilliam served three years in prison for armed robbery and was released in 2007. He also has been convicted of assault on a female and communicating threats, and ordered to complete anger management classes.

He was arrested for possession of a firearm by a felon and shooting into an occupied property last July, but the charges were dismissed in August.
