A 16-year-old boy died after a shooting in a northeast Charlotte neighborhood on Sunday night, WBTV reported. The incident occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Ragsdale Drive, near Johnston Oehler Road in the Mallard Creek area.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police found the male victim with a gunshot wound and took him to a hospital where he later died, according to WBTV. Initially, no information was released about the victim's identity or the motive behind the shooting.

On Monday, police charged two individuals in connection with the death. A 20-year-old man and a 17-year-old juvenile were charged with murder and felony conspiracy, WBTV reported. A police major said there was no indication of what led to the shooting at the time of the incident.

Authorities are asking anyone with information to contact homicide detectives at 704-432-TIPS or leave anonymous tips with Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600, WBTV added.
