Homicide detectives obtained arrest warrants for Davis on Monday for his alleged involvement in the case.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department Violent Criminal Apprehension Team, known as VCAT, located and arrested Davis. Davis is the second man charged in Henry’s killing, with Tychicus Dobie also identified as a suspect.
Following his arrest, Davis was transported to the Law Enforcement Center for an interview with homicide detectives. He was later transferred to the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office.
The other suspect, Dobie, previously pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the 2019 shooting death of Kendal Crank, who was killed at North Tryon and 28th streets in north Charlotte as she drove to nursing school.
Dobie and Davis are brothers, according to court records.
