CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department detectives arrested and charged Kedar Aziz Muhammad, 22, Tuesday with the killing of Rechard Delane Mickle, 35.

At about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Mount Holly Police contacted CMPD about a man who had been shot and had been dropped off at CaroMont Regional Medical Center. That man was Mickle, who died that morning.
 
Police said he was shot outside the Walmart before getting to the hospital.
 
This was not a random act of violence.
