CHARLOTTE — Court documents provide new details about a shooting inside a northwest Charlotte Walmart.
Channel 9 reported on Thursday that the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department arrested 17-year-old Xavier Tirado for reportedly shooting another 17-year-old on May 21 at the Walmart on Callabridge Court.
The affidavit says surveillance video shows the person who was shot was reaching into his waistband and grabbing a gun. As this happened, shots were fired at the victim.
The shooting wasn’t captured on video, but CMPD says cameras caught Tirado and a second suspect fleeing the store.
CMPD says investigators used NCDMV facial recognition technology to identify Tirado as the suspect.
He was charged with attempted murder and held on a $25,000 bond. He posted that bond the next morning and was released from jail.
