A Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department incident report recently acquired by WCNC Charlotte reveals a shell casing was found in the street near the northeast Charlotte home of Allisha Watts' boyfriend James Dunmore on July 20, just one day after she was reported missing.

According to CMPD, the shell casing is for a 9mm handgun.

Watts, 39, was reported missing on July 19.

A cousin who spoke with CMPD said Watts and Dunmore were supposed to go to a comedy show at Bojangles Coliseum on July 16, and that the pair were seen getting into Watts' car. The cousin eventually called CMPD on July 19, saying Watts had not been heard from and had not shown up for work, which was out of character for her.
