Authorities in South Carolina tracked Dunlap to Greenville, and he was arrested by CMPD detectives along with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division officers.
Dunlap, 18, is being charged with murder and robbery with a dangerous weapon.
CMPD said Dunlap will be transported to the Mecklenburg County Jail after an extradition is approved.
Police haven’t released additional details on what led to the shooting. Channel 9 is working on getting information from court warrants, but they haven’t been made available yet.
