CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Two men were arrested in connection with a triple shooting just outside uptown Charlotte Wednesday night that left two teens dead and another person in the hospital.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police were called to the area of Morehead St. and Grandin Rd. around 9 p.m. Police said one victim was found in a parking lot, and two more were found in a car.
"It was terrifying not really knowing what was happening," said Cory Neal who lives on Grandin Road. "There was still a very active area; I had to park up the street."
Investigators believed all three victims were shot in the 600 block of Grandin Road, but two stayed inside the vehicle while the other ran down the street.
Police said the victims were taken to the hospital where two of them died. There was no immediate word on the condition of the third person. The men who died were identified as 17-year-old Ibn Marshall and 18-year-old Anu'bius Smith.
On Friday, CMPD announced that Furqan Grice, 18, and Anthony Goodson, 18, were arrested in connection with their murders. Grice was arrested Thursday and is facing two counts of first-degree murder. Goodson was arrested Friday and is in the process of being interviewed by homicide detectives.
Two guns and some marijuana were found at the crime scene.
Neighbors said the area is normally peaceful. Now they're dealing with a lost sense of security.
"It's a good neighborhood, safe. I haven't had any problems walking my dog or anything like that," Neal said.
Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to call CMPD Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600 or you can call 704-432-TIPS to speak directly with homicide detectives.
