CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police has arrested a father accused of killing his daughter’s abusive boyfriend.

Parker Bogan, 59, of Charlotte, has been charged with voluntary manslaughter following the incident.

Just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, CMPD officers were dispatched to a domestic violence call in the 6000 block of Cattail Court in east Charlotte. When they arrived, officers spoke with a female who told them that her boyfriend, identified as 26-year-old Patrick Creek, punched her shoulder during an argument. Police say the woman did not have any visible signs of injury and officers advised her how to proceed with charges against her attacker.

Hours later, just before 4 a.m. Wednesday, CMPD officers returned to the home to assist with a Medic call for service. Officers found an unconscious male in the home, who was pronounced dead on scene by paramedics. The victim was identified as Patrick Creek.

Investigators determined that Creek attempted to physically assault his girlfriend at the home when Bogan intervened and put him in a chokehold. Creek died due to injuries he sustained during the altercation, police say.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
