Arrest Made in September Homicide on Marvin Road in Southeast Charlotte

Charlotte police have arrested a suspect in connection with a September homicide in southeast Charlotte that left a 23-year-old man dead, according to court documents.

Tahari Belin was taken into custody Tuesday and charged with murder in the shooting death of Dailan Chinchilla Gonzalez, the records show. In addition to the murder charge, Belin faces counts of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, felony conspiracy, and assault with a deadly weapon.

The shooting occurred just before 10 p.m. on Sept. 7 along Marvin Road, in a residential area of southeast Charlotte. Police launched a homicide investigation at the time, and the case remained open until this week's arrest.

Belin is expected to appear in Mecklenburg County Court on Thursday morning, where a judge will review the charges and set conditions for his release or continued detention.

Details about what led investigators to identify Belin as a suspect have not been released. It was not immediately clear whether he has an attorney.

The arrest marks a development in a case that has weighed on the surrounding community since the fall. Homicide investigations in Charlotte have drawn increased scrutiny in recent years as residents and city leaders grapple with gun violence and its impact on neighborhoods.

Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to contact Charlotte-Mecklenburg police or Crime Stoppers.
