Mykel Washington, 26, was fatally shot on May 5, 2025, in the parking lot of the Archdale Mini Mart in Charlotte, North Carolina. Two other men in the parking lot were seriously injured and taken to a hospital, and a 73-year-old man inside the store received treatment for minor injuries.

Police say the suspect approached the victims before firing. After Washington was shot, one surviving victim ran into the store and was pursued; the suspect reportedly fired inside the aisles before fleeing. Authorities identified and arrested 37-year-old Terrence Richardson on May 7, 2025, at a motel; he was charged with murder and attempted murder. Washington had prior arrests, including a 2018 murder charge, and previously served time for robbery before his recent release. The investigation remains ongoing.
