Second teen, 15, charged with murder of 13-year-old girl at Concord Mills mall

Concord Police say a second teenager has been charged with murder in connection to a shooting that killed a 13-year-old girl and left two other teenagers injured Saturday at Concord Mills mall.

The 15-year-old, whose name has not been released, was taken into custody Friday and charged with first-degree murder and felony riot.

Police say the teen is an acquaintance of 18-year-old Dontae Milton Black, who was arrested Wednesday on the same charges, with additional charges pending.

Police said they are still trying to identify other individuals that may have been involved.

Black faced a judge Thursday on the charges. He could face the death penalty or life without parole if convicted.

The shooting happened around 8:40 p.m. outside Dave & Buster’s on Concord Mills Boulevard. Aveanna Propst, of Concord, was shot and died at the scene. Two boys, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were shot and injured.

Investigators say Propst nor the two two boys shot were involved in the altercation that led to the shooting and were not Black’s intended targets.

Police say the teen boys are “lucky to be alive.
