ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. (WAVY) – Two months after a shots fired incident in Elizabeth City, police have a suspect in custody facing several charges.
ECPD, with assistance from the United States Marshals Service Carolina Regional Task Force, arrested 18-year-old Tony Zyaire Commander Friday morning without incident.
They tracked him down in the 300 block of West Church Street on outstanding warrants for discharging a weapon into an occupied property, assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill, discharging a firearm in the city, and injury to personal property.
Commander was transported to the Albemarle District Jail with a $175,000 secure bond. He is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday.
