CHARLOTTE — A man has been charged in the death of a teen who was shot and killed in east Charlotte this past summer.
According to Mecklenburg County Jail records, police arrested 18-year-old Omar Teasley Jr. on Monday. Channel 9 confirmed through court records that the arrest was connected to the July shooting death of 18-year-old Rashaka Black Prince.
On July 18, officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said they were called to the 6000 block of Cattail Court to investigate a shooting.
Authorities found Prince, who had been shot once, and rushed him to the hospital where he later died.
Investigators told Channel 9 that Prince had been shot in the street, not in a house. They also said the shooting didn’t appear to be a random incident.
Teasley has been charged with first-degree murder and was being held without bond, police said.
