WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Two teenagers are facing charges in a deadly convenience store shooting.
Winston-Salem police said one of the teens arrested was also involved in the kidnapping of a 5-month-old in Greensboro after stealing an SUV.
However, police said that crime was not connected to the deadly Winston-Salem shooting.
In that case, a man was shot Saturday night just before 11 p.m. outside the On Your Way Mart located on East 12th Street.
Police said the two teens approached the man who was sitting in his car and fired several rounds at him before running away.
When police arrived, they found 35-year-old Donald Bernard Lowery Jr. with a gunshot wound.
Lowery was transported to Wake Forest Baptist Health but he died.
One of the teens is charged with first-degree murder and is in a juvenile detention center. The other 15-year-old is charged with firing a gun into an occupied vehicle. He’s also charged with first-degree kidnapping related to the Greensboro crime. He could also face additional charges in Greensboro. He was placed in a juvenile detention center.
This marks the 13th homicide of the year in Winston-Salem. This time last year, police said there were seven.
