Suspect arrested in deadly Greenville Dollar General parking lot shootout
GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - Greenville police say a man has been arrested following a shootout between two cars that left one man dead and another wounded.
Police have charged 20-year-old Darrell Kendrick of Winterville with first degree murder. He was located in Raleigh. He was scheduled to make his first appearance in Pitt County court on Friday morning.
The shooting happened around 2:00 p.m. Thursday in the parking lot of the Dollar General on Stantonsburg Road.
Police said a car with two shooting victims drove to Vidant Medical Center. Police Chief Mark Holtzman said one of those men, identified as 21-year-old Latrell Heath died, while his brother, 27-year-old Kevion Heath, has non-life-threatening injuries. Both men are in their mid-20s, according to the chief.
The family said they expect Kevion Heath to be released later Friday from the hospital.
Shortly after the shooting, officers said they found a possible murder weapon on Mozingo Road that had been tossed out.
Police say this shooting is not connected to a manhunt earlier in the day on the other side of Greenville for a man wanted in Greene County on an attempted murder charge.
