A 31-year-old man has been charged in connection with a December shooting that left one man dead blocks from downtown Wilmington.
The incident began about 2:15 p.m. on Dec. 1 when city police were dispatched to the 1000 block of N. Madison St., where they found left Lerrie Tate critically injured in an apartment building.
The 44-year-old man was taken to an area hospital where he later died.
Dayquane Barnes was arrested last week, according to Wilmington Police, during a vehicle stop in the 1000 block of N. Madison St. — the same area where Tate was found.
Barnes was taken into custody without incident and charged with first-degree murder, two weapons offenses and home invasion burglary.
He was being held at Howard R. Young Correctional Institution after failing to post $4 million cash bail.
