CHARLOTTE — A man has been charged with murder after a deadly shooting in east Charlotte last week.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said 34-year-old Simon Yemane Semere was shot on Oct. 11 and died outside his home on Wenda Place, near Idlewild Road.
Neighbors said that morning, they heard a single gunshot followed by a man screaming for help.
The suspect, 26-year-old Jakkael Best, was arrested Saturday, according to detectives. He has been charged with first-degree murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
