At a press press conference Friday, police said Langdon killed James Price as he was leaving a concert in 2013 at the former Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, WBTV in Charlotte is reporting.

A verbal altercation led to a fight in the parking lot, the 25-year-old Price was trying to protect his girlfriend when he was stabbed, according to police.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say Langdon was a suspect in the case for some time, but there was never enough evidence until recently.

But Langdon will never be charged or stand trial for the murder.

About 7:10 p.m. on Nov. 13, 2016, officers responding to a call of shots fired in the 7200 block of South Phillips Avenue found the 25-year-old unresponsive on the ground, Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office said at the time.

Langdon had suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene at 7:30 p.m., according to the medical examiner’s office.

The victim’s father is the Rev. Dennis C. Landgon of Morgan Park United Methodist Church, one of the founders of the Thou Shalt Not Murder campaign, which kicked off with a campaign calling for no murders on Easter 2016. The event was called a success as no one was murdered in Chicago on Easter Sunday.
