A teenager has been arrested for the deadly shooting of a fast-food employee in northwest Charlotte.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said a 16-year-old was charged with murder and taken into custody in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Friday.

Fate Brannon, a 17-year-old employee, was killed on March 29 at a Jack in the Box on North Hoskins Road. Brannon was inside the restaurant waiting for someone to pick him up after work when two masked gunmen shot him, according to CMPD.

Police have already charged 28-year-old Marcus Dahn with first-degree murder. Earlier this month, they shared photos of a person of interest they’re looking for in connection with the case.

It’s not clear whether the 16-year-old charged is the person of interest police were looking for, but Channel 9 is asking investigators for more information.

The teenage suspect was taken into custody by the Rock Hill Police Department and will be extradited back to Mecklenburg County.

Anyone with information can call 704-432-TIPS and speak directly to a homicide detective. You can also leave information anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.

Motional delays commercial robotaxi plans amid restructuring
Motional, the autonomous vehicle startup borne out of a $4 billion joint venture between Hyundai and automotive supplier Aptiv, will pause its commercial operations and delay plans to launch a driverless service as it undergoes a restructuring, TechCrunch has learned. Motional has pushed its plan to launch a commercial driverless robotaxi service — meaning no human safety operator on board — to 2026, two years later than planned. The company told employees Tuesday during an all-hands meeting that the changes will include layoffs, but did not provide a figure of how many people would be affected, according to sources who spoke to TechCrunch on condition of anonymity.

"My objective was to rebuild the enterprise category of workforce management in order to maximize labor efficiency for the businesses and deliver value to the workers simultaneously," Mondkar said.
