One dead in KFC/Taco Bell parking lot on North Tryon street

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police are questioning a person they believe shot another person in the parking lot of the KFC/Taco Bell on N. Tryon Street in the University area at dinnertime Friday. People in the restaurant tell us they heard and saw very little.
"We didn't see anything or hear anything. It was really kind of silent," Michael Kahn said. He said a woman came into the restaurant yelling that someone had been shot in the head in the parking lot.
Police arrived to find one person dead in a vehicle. Another person in the vehicle was not hurt.
Officers caught up with the person they believe was the shooter just a block away, running from the scene. CMPD Captain Freda Lester said the incident may have involved a robbery.

The state's annual gang report released this week shows Mecklenburg County has 160 gangs, the most of any North Carolina county.

The second-highest county was Wake, with 97 gangs.

According to the Associated Press, the report "reflects a fuller picture of gang activity by relying more on hard data from police and prison officials."

AP reports the Governor's Crime Commission gave its annual gang report to a legislative panel on Thursday.

The report shows there are nearly 13,700 confirmed gang members and their associates, compared to 10,050 in last year's report.


A search warrant application reveals that Winfred Scott Simpson told deputies "that his wife admitted to having an affair over the past six months."
