Reports suggest a suspect who went on a random shooting spree earlier this week in Charlotte, NC is in the U.S. illegally.
Carlos Roberto Diaz, 18, and a 16-year-old were arrested Tuesday morning for the crimes that happened about 48 hours earlier, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said.
Investigators said they aren’t looking for any additional suspects in the case.
Roberto Diaz, who is from Honduras, was in the country illegally at the time of his arrest. The suspect, who was 14 years old at the time, had an encounter with Border Patrol along the Rio Grande River in Mexico back in 2019.
New court documents show the 16-year-old admitted to police that he and Diaz went on the crime spree after they went to a party together.
#NEW: Carlos Roberto Diaz will stay in jail.
Judge Mercer ruled that he will let a superior court judge decide Diaz’s bond on the 1st degree murder charge & some of his other charges at a later date.
He did set a $100k secured bond on two of his charges. @wsoctv https://t.co/XN96PRU3Gc
