Dantre’Veion De’anquon Hobbs, 23, was fatally shot while working a Monday night shift at the Taco Bell on Highway 74 in Indian Trail. Deputies found him shot inside the restaurant and he died at the scene; the store briefly closed while investigators collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.

Investigators called the attack targeted, saying the assailant bypassed others to reach Hobbs, though they declined to release a motive. Detectives identified a suspect and, less than 24 hours after the shooting, arrested 22-year-old Gilecio Ritchie at his Indian Trail home; he was charged with murder and denied bond. Memorial pages began appearing marking the date and place where Hobbs was killed.

If anyone who worked at that Taco Bell or was there that night has information about Hobbs, the shooting, or what led up to it, please share what you know.
