CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A second suspect has been arrested in connection to a 17-year-old Rocky River High School student who was shot and killed while getting off his bus.
Nahzir Taylor died from his injuries last week. He was shot while getting off a school bus on Lanza Drive near Culver Spring Way.
On Wednesday, CMPD located and arrested a 16-year-old suspect in connection with the case. The suspect was transported to the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) in Uptown to be interviewed by detectives.
CMPD had previously arrested a juvenile suspect in connection with the shooting. That juvenile was charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury and two counts of discharging a firearm into occupied property.
According to witnesses and Taylor's family, there appeared to be a group of teenagers waiting for him when the bus arrived at the neighborhood stop.
Security camera footage shows three people running into a car next to where Taylor was shot. The car turned around and fled the neighborhood.
