CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Weeks after a teen was shot and killed after leaving his shift at a northwest Charlotte restaurant, another teen is now charged with his killing.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department announced Friday that a 16-year-old in Rock Hill, South Carolina was charged with murder. The teen suspect was taken into custody and is set to be extradited to Mecklenburg County.
The arrest of the 16-year-old comes more than three weeks after 17-year-old Fate Brannon was killed outside of the Jack in the Box restaurant where he worked. CMPD originally said the two suspects were masked men and arrested 28-year-old Marcus Dahn the next day. Dahn was originally arrested on an unrelated warrant.
Warrants reviewed by WCNC Charlotte claim the suspects waited for Brannon to get off of his shift, waiting for about 20 minutes before trying to rob him. Brannon was shot in the chest.
Brannon's killing was the third homicide within a 24-hour period in Charlotte. Two other deadly and separate shootings were reported earlier in the eastern part of the city.
