CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- After turning himself in to police and being questioned for hours, 36-year-old Royce Anthony Mitchell finally walked out of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police headquarters. He was in handcuffs.
He's been charged with raping and taking indecent liberties with his 15-year-old adopted sister.
Early Monday morning, someone shot and killed Tiffany Wright while she was waiting at a school bus stop on Mallard Creek Road.
She was eight months pregnant and a student at Hawthorne High School.
"What kind of thing is that to do to somebody?" asked Tami Corpeming, a friend of the victim. She went on to say, "It hurts everybody."
As of now, police are only calling Mitchell a person of interest.
A police car sat outside of his northwest Charlotte home Monday night and we're told search warrants are being signed. They will likely include a search of his house.
Neighbors tell us Wright lived there for a while. Her friends can't figure out how something like this could happen.
"It's hard because she's a child," said Corpeming.
Doctors were able to deliver Wright's baby. Police say, at last check, the infant was in critical condition.
Meanwhile, Mitchell sits in the Mecklenburg County Jail under no bond. He's expected to make his first court appearance Tuesday afternoon.
