CHARLOTTE, N.C. — An 18-year-old is wanted in connection with the killing of a 17-year-old in east Charlotte last month, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said.
CMPD is asking for the public's help finding 18-year-old Terrence Cordell McKnight Jr. He is wanted in connection with the deadly shooting of 17-year-old Kaleb Brown on April 12. Brown was found shot to death at a home along Boswell Road, which is just off Harrisburg Road near the Charles T. Myers Golf Course.
A 17-year-old suspect was arrested in late April in connection with the case. The teen was charged with murder, conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
Anyone with information about McKnight's whereabouts is asked to call Charlotte Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600. Detectives say he is considered armed and dangerous.
Youth crime is something that Charlotte leaders have been working to tackle, including CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings and Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden. During a recent episode of Flashpoint on WCNC Charlotte, Jennings and McFadden shared how their departments are seeking solutions to the issue.
