MARSHVILLE, N.C. — A Marshville man, that is connected to two Charlotte-area murders from April 2021, is now facing charges in Union County for the murder of a 33-year-old man.
Union County deputies identified 34-year-old Joel Brewer, who is in the Mecklenburg County jail, for the murder of Joshua Allen, who was found dead in a wooded area near Wingate in Feb. 2021.
Allen was last seen alive in January 2021 and a missing person report was filed with the Marshville Police soon after. After Allen was found, Union County detectives and SBI agents pursued the case as a murder investigation after the Medical Examiner determined he died from multiple gunshot wounds.
