UNCC shooting suspect indicted on 12 counts by grand jury; case heads to Superior Court

The charges include two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting that killed two and wounded four students.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The suspected shooter at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who killed two people and wounded four, was indicted by a grand jury on 12 counts Tuesday. 

The case will now go to the North Carolina Superior Court. 

The suspect, Trystan Terrell, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in the indictment. Terrell is also charged with four counts of attempted murder, four counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, possession of a firearm on educational property and discharging a firearm on education property. 

Last week, the suspect chose to not appear in court by waiving his right to be present. He was appointed a public defender in the case. Terrell was scheduled to appear in court again on May 15 for a bond hearing and will remain in jail until that hearing.
