A 25-year-old man who has been on the run since a shooting outside Northlake Mall more than two weeks ago has been arrested, police said.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said they took Carlton Lamonte Ardrey into custody about 4:30 p.m. Saturday in Charlotte.
Ardrey is charged with assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a gun by a felon in connection with the Feb. 6 shooting, which happened in the parking lot outside of the Dick's Sporting Goods and Dillard's stores at Northlake.
Police said Ardrey shot a 23-year-old man, whose injuries were described as non-life-threatening. Police said they believe the shooting was not random.
Records show Ardrey, who goes by the nicknames "Psycho" and "Sike," has been arrested about 20 times in Mecklenburg County, mostly on drug charges.
His criminal convictions include drug possession and breaking and entering vehicles, according to the N.C. Department of Correction.
After Ardrey is questioned by investigators, he'll be taken to Mecklenburg jail, police said.
