Kannapolis PD seeks individual believed to have details on July 16 homicide

KANNAPOLIS — Last week, a Salisbury teen was shot and killed in Kannapolis. On Monday, a release from the city indicated that they may have zeroed in on a person of interest, based on a now-deleted social media account.

“Kannapolis Police are requesting your assistance in identifying this person,” Kannapolis Communications Director Annette Keller said in a Monday email. “He may have details regarding a homicide that occurred in the city last week. The photo was posted to a Instagram social media account with the name, “darichestyoungin_”.”

According to Keller, the account has since been deactivated by the account user.
