Teen charged with murder in shooting of 13-year-old at Concord Mills

A Charlotte teenager has been arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of a 13-year-old girl outside Concord Mills Mall.

According to the Concord Police Department, 18-year-old Dontae Milton Black was arrested Wednesday morning. He was charged with one count of first-degree murder and felony riot for the shooting of Aveanna Propst, who was killed when she was shot outside Dave & Buster's in Concord on Dec. 28.

Two other teens suffered minor injuries in the shooting.

Investigators say that Black got into an argument with a 16-year-old boy inside the mall near GameStop before closing time. According to NBC Charlotte, the argument escalated and the 16-year-old saw Black handling a gun before the teens were told to leave the mall. The 16-year-old, afraid that Black had a gun, exited through Dave & Buster's, police said. When Black saw him outside, he opened fire, striking the two other teens and Propst.

Black was being held in Cabarrus County without bond.
