Update: Charlotte fugitive arrested in New York

CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- Police are on the look out for the lone suspect still on the streets, wanted in a violent home invasion.

His name is Michael King and he is also wanted in a string of robberies.

Police believe someone is helping hide him.

"I tell you I never forget that night when I came in that night saw everything turned upside down, it was very scary," says Young Lim, who owns the convenience store where three men held a gun to his clerk's head, then robbed the place on January 20th.

The whole thing was caught on surveillance video.

"It doesn't go away, linger in my mind," says Lim.

Partly, he says, because at least one suspect is still out there.

"He's still at large and that's scary," says Lim.

Police say a group of guys committed that holdup, and a bunch of other robberies across Charlotte.

A red minivan connected several of them and witnesses saw that same van leaving a Pineville apartment complex where a home invasion robbery turned into a murder.

"It seems like the victim tried to protect himself or fight back," says Sgt.Steve Winterhalter with CMPD's Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, or VCAT.

Investigators have already arrested Jacob Case and Jamal Pittman, but they also want 19-year-old Michael King for the murder.

"He's got no vehicle, no phone, no money, the shirt off his back," says Winterhalter. 

That's why their convinced King is getting help -- and say that person will face charges too.

King is wanted for murder.

He is 5'8, 150 pounds.

If you have any information about King's whereabouts you are asked to call the VCAT unit 704-336-8228.

You could get a cash reward for helping bring him in.
