Early Tuesday morning in Charlotte, North Carolina, at least five shooting incidents were believed to have been connected to two suspects who were later arrested by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. Along with an unnamed 16-year-old, CMPD reported the arrest of 18-year-old Carlos Roberto Diaz, whom sources told WSOC was a Honduran national who’d entered the country illegally in 2019.
“These were brazen crimes. These were crimes that put our community at risk and created a safety hazard for our community,” CMPD Chief Johnny Jennings said at a press conference Thursday. “CMPD personnel took this personally. They took this as a threat to the safety of the citizens of Charlotte and acted appropriately.”
According to the police, an initial response to the fatal gunshot wound of one Mustaffa Muhammad had found officers and detectives responding to four more shootings in the area as victims reported being fired upon in their cars, their homes, and even while riding bicycles.
Some avoided injury while others were treated for non-life-threatening injuries after being struck by the bullets.
Having first initiated a traffic stop over a suspicious vehicle that resulted in the arrest of the juvenile suspect early Thursday morning, CMPD detailed that, by that afternoon, their Violent Criminal Apprehension Team (VCAT) had located Diaz with the assistance of FBI Charlotte and arrested him without incident.
While the 16-year-old was charged with first-degree murder, with more charges expected to follow, the charges against Diaz included: one count of first-degree murder, one count of felony conspiracy to commit murder, five counts of attempted murder, two counts of shooting into an occupied vehicle, two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling and one count of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflict serious injury.
18-year-old Carlos Roberto Diaz will be transferred into the custody of the Mecklenburg County Sherriff’s Office and charged with the following:
-1st degree murder
-Felony Conspiracy to Commit Murder
-Attempted Murder x5
-Shooting into an Occupied Vehicle x2

Sources told WSOC that, as a 14-year-old, Diaz had an encounter with Border Patrol at the Rio Grande. Details as to whether that was the only time the suspect had attempted to enter the United States remained unspecified.
Likewise, the background of the unnamed juvenile remained undisclosed though detectives had determined that “the 16-year-old suspect intended to engage in additional violent criminal activity,” based on their investigation.
The violent spree suspected at the hands of at least one foreign national came as a report detailed how at least 16 suspected terrorists had managed to make their way into the United States by crossing the unsecured border that included eight from Tajikistan said to have been talking about bombs before their arrest.
One from Jordan was arrested after allegedly attempting to break into the Quantico Marine Corps Base, while in October a 27-year-old Senegalese man was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York City while wanted for alleged terrorist activities.

As former President Donald Trump had asserted during a recent interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, a “new form of crime” is on the rise in the country “and it’s called Biden migrant crime.”
“We have a new form, it’s a new category, and it’s gonna be very, very serious for a long time to come. And we have to get ’em out of our country. We don’t want ’em out, they drop ’em out of their jails and prisons. We don’t want them in our country. It’s not sustainable by any country,” the GOP leader had added.
