NC: Queen City - Alleged Assault, Argument, Gunfight, Two Wounded

Investigators said Pride later told officers he had gone to the Food Lion after getting a call from his son, who said he’d been “jumped and assaulted.” Pride said he picked up his son nearby and returned to the Food Lion, where his son pointed out the Nissan.  

CMPD reported that Pride admitted to arguing with the Nissan driver, then claimed he saw the man raising a gun, triggering him to fire his own weapon four times. 

After pulling off, Pride reported that he heard additional gunshots and that his son was shot.

Following the shooting, Pride allegedly told officers at the scene that he “hoped he had killed” the victim. Family at the scene told police that Pride had hidden his gun behind his home on Yorkford Drive. CMPD officers reported that they later recovered the weapon.

The Food Lion itself was also hit during the shooting. At least one bullet entered the store, which was open at the time and had employees and customers inside. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
