The reward is for information leading to an arrest in the case, police said. The reward had been $15,000.

The son of a Kannapolis police officer, Anthony was visiting family when he was shot the night of Jan 2 in the 2200 block of Finchley Drive, near Eastway Drive in northeast Charlote.

Anthony was shot while in a vehicle with a relative who had pulled into the relative’s driveway, and he died the next day. It’s not known what led up to the shooting or whether Anthony was targeted.

Anthony was returning from a birthday celebration in the city with family members. He had turned 14 the day before Christmas.
