Murray's last day will be Feb. 28. Murray was appointed in 2017. He also served previously as Mecklenburg County District Attorney. During his tenure, Murray's office prosecuted cases involving gangs, domestic and international drug trafficking, COVID-19 fraud and cybercrime. He also oversaw high-profile cases including a $3 billion settlement with Wells Fargo over deceptive sales practices and a 2018 antitrust settlement with Atrium Health. Murray was outspoken at times on politically-sensitive issues. In 2019, he testified at a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee hearing where he said so-called sanctuary city policies are "reckless." Murray cited cases of people in the country illegally committing violent crimes after being released from jail in Charlotte.
