A man already convicted of manslaughter allegedly shot and wounded one man and killed a second in Charlotte, North Carolina less than two hours after being released last week on bond.
FOX News reported that 29-year-old David Simpson now faces charges that include first-degree murder and “possession of a firearm by a felon.” He is in custody and being held without bond.
WCNC noted that Simpson “was released from Mecklenburg County jail around 12:20 a.m. on Wednesday,” then allegedly carried out the fatal shooting at 1:45 p.m.
The shooting occurred at an apartment complex and is believed to have resulted from an argument over a parking space.
Simpson’s girlfriend, Shakema Scott, is charged “with accessory after the fact.”
