GRAHAM – A Durham man has been arrested in the theft of a car from outside a convenience store last Tuesday and the shooting of the car's owner.
At the time of his arrest, Ricardo Zyon Aguilar Baldwin, 23, was still in possession of the 2015 Dodge Charger that was stolen, the Graham Police Department said.
The shooting was reported shortly after 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 500 block of College Street. The investigation led officers to determine that the incident started at the KC Kwiki Mart at 312 Providence Road, where a man walking out of the store saw a man stealing his white 2015 Dodge Charger, police said. He tried to stop the man from taking the car, but as he clung to the car the thief drove out of the parking lot, dragging him along.
After exiting the parking lot, the Charger struck another vehicle, and at some point the man stealing the Charger shot the car’s owner.
On Friday, with the assistance of the Greensboro Police Department, Graham investigators identified Baldwin as the suspect.
Baldwin was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, felony larceny of a motor vehicle, felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and felony discharge of a firearm within the enclosure to incite fear. Bond was set at $50,000 secured.
