Police say a 19-year-old man was shot and killed late Saturday night near Charlotte's popular South End area.
The shooting happened just after 11:30 p.m. in the 3500 block of Griffith Street, which is between South Tryon Street and Interstate 77. When police got to the scene, they found Antwon Risher dead in the parking lot of an apartment complex.
As of Sunday afternoon, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police hadn't provided any information about what led to the shooting.
Risher's death was the second homicide reported by CMPD last week and the 19th reported this year.

He was taken to a hospital but later died.
