North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) detectives have apprehended a suspect in connection with the homicide that took place on a CARTA bus on August 31st.

On August 31st, at around 10:41 am, officers and detectives responded to a CARTA bus stop on Carner Avenue following a shooting. Upon arrival, they found a victim with gunshot wounds on the bus, who was later pronounced deceased at the scene.

The investigation revealed this to be an isolated incident between two individuals, not a reflection of the safety of using CARTA public transportation.

This evening, detectives located and arrested a 15-year-old juvenile in this incident. The juvenile has been charged with Murder and Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime.

The juvenile is currently being held at the Department of Juvenile Justice. NCPD would like to extend its gratitude to the US Marshals for their assistance throughout this investigation.
