CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A second teenager is facing charges related to a deadly shooting in northeast Charlotte earlier this month, detectives said.
Jamotis Watkins, 18, was arrested on Oct. 17, by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police. He was wanted in connection with the killing of 22-year-old Derrick Answon Baker, who was found shot to death near the intersection of Tom Hunter Road and North Tryon Street on Oct. 3.
A second victim was found shot about a quarter-mile from where officers found Baker. That victim, who is under 18, suffered serious injuries. A third victim showed up at a nearby hospital about an hour later with minor injuries, CMPD said.
Watkins was charged with murder, two counts of attempted murder and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury. He's the second person to be arrested in the case. On Oct. 8, CMPD announced a 17-year-old was in custody in connection with the shooting. The teen suspect was charged with murder.
