CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Three men were arrested in connection with an east Charlotte shooting that killed one person and injured three others last week, court records show.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police responded to a shooting along Shamrock Drive, near the Charlotte Museum of History, around 11:30 p.m. on Aug. 2. When officers arrived, they found two people lying in the road with gunshot wounds. They were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The officers found two additional victims in a nearby house. One of the victims, 57-year-old Jose Octavio Cruz, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Court records show that Kevin Zetino was arrested in connection with the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon. Zetino had his first appearance in court on Wednesday, where a judge denied bond.
