Gaston County Police are currently on a manhunt for Singletary for his role in the shooting. He faces multiple charges, which include four counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill or inflicting serious injury, and a count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
He was previously charged with assaulting his 21-year-old girlfriend with a mini sledgehammer. Additionally, he kept the victim hostage and didn’t allow her to leave his apartment for two hours. Singletary faced charges of assault with intent to inflict serious injury, kidnapping, and communicating threats. He was held in the Gaston County jail on a $250,000 bond.
The shooting sparked outrage as three shootings were about people making simple errors.
