Manhunt Ends, Winter Weather Impacts Charlotte Area
Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Sunday, January 18th.
We're starting this morning with a major development in a case that's haunted our community for nearly a decade. An FBI Ten Most Wanted fugitive has been captured in Mexico. Alejandro Rosales Castillo, who was just 17 at the time, was accused of killing 23-year-old Sandy Lee back in 2016. The disappearance of Sandy Lee and two others sparked an intense manhunt that stretched all the way to Phoenix, Arizona, where police found Sandy Lee's car abandoned thousands of miles away. Castillo had been on the FBI's most wanted list since 2017, but law enforcement finally located him Thursday in Pachuca, Mexico. He's now awaiting extradition back to North Carolina. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says this arrest is the result of years of persistence and international cooperation, and they hope it can finally bring some answers to Sandy Lee's loved ones here in Charlotte.
On a different note, we had some action in northeast Charlotte overnight. One person was hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after a shooting early Saturday morning near Pennwood Lane in the 700 block. Medic transported the victim to a local hospital. Authorities are still investigating what led to the incident, so if you have any information, you're encouraged to reach out to local police.
Now let's talk about what's happening outside today, because the weather is definitely on everyone's mind. We're tracking wintry conditions moving through the Charlotte area, and if you were hoping for a significant snow event, well, unfortunately that's not quite in the cards. But there is still some hope for snow lovers. We could see a rain and snow mix developing early this morning between about 8 AM and 2 PM as a system moves through. Temperatures are going to be fluctuating between the upper 30s and low 40s, which means any snow that does fall likely won't accumulate much because the ground is too warm. For those in the mountain communities west of I-85, there's a better chance of seeing a few flurries or even a light trace of snow. Areas closer to Raleigh-Durham might see a bit more, possibly a dusting up to half an inch, but for most of the Piedmont here in Charlotte, we're looking at novelty snowflakes at best. After the evening hours, we're expecting clear skies. Looking ahead, temperatures are going to drop significantly heading into the work week, so make sure you don't put those jackets away just yet.
Gardner-Webb University's Charlotte campus has announced that all face-to-face classes for today are canceled due to the winter weather conditions. Faculty will be reaching out to students directly about coursework expectations.
