In a shocking turn of events, a man wanted for murder in Rock Hill was apprehended after a violent attack and attempted carjacking at a QuikTrip gas station in Huntersville, North Carolina. The harrowing incident took place on Saturday, April 13, at the QuikTrip located at 16649 Statesville Road, sending shockwaves through the quiet town.
Huntersville police responded swiftly to the scene, where they found a man wielding a knife and attempting to steal a woman’s vehicle. Fortunately, the woman only suffered minor injuries during the altercation, thanks to the quick intervention of law enforcement officers.
The suspect, later identified as Shawn Marion Love, a 27-year-old man hailing from Rock Hill, South Carolina, was unsuccessful in his carjacking attempt and fled the scene on a stolen bike. However, thanks to meticulous police work and video surveillance footage from the QuikTrip, detectives were able to identify Love and track him down.
On Sunday, April 14, officers located Love in the vicinity of Sherrill Estates Road, following a report of a ‘suspicious person’. Upon running a routine warrant check, it was revealed that Love was wanted in Rock Hill for the heinous crime of murder. Additionally, his description matched that of the assailant involved in the assault and attempted carjacking at the QuikTrip.
Love has since been charged with attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon and breaking and entering a motor vehicle in Mecklenburg County. His bond has been set at $100,000 secured, ensuring that he remains in custody pending further legal proceedings.
Following Love’s apprehension, a stolen vehicle linked to the murder in Rock Hill was recovered by a vigilant Huntersville officer along Interstate 77 near Exit 23. As the legal process unfolds, Love is expected to be extradited to Rock Hill to face charges of murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
Scheduled to appear in Mecklenburg County court on Monday, April 15, Love’s arrest serves as a stark reminder of the swift and diligent work of law enforcement agencies in ensuring justice is served. The residents of Huntersville can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a dangerous individual has been taken off the streets, thanks to the dedication of local police officers..
