Local authorities have arrested a suspect wanted in connection with a Hillsborough shooting earlier this year.
The shooting in late May on Harper Street sent two men to the hospital.
Records show that 19-year-old Chan Owens was arrested on Wednesday and was being held in the Orange County Jail.
Owens has been charged with attempted first-degree murder, assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, assault by pointing a gun and discharging a firearm in town limits.
The shooting resulted in a 38-year-old man being transported to a hospital with what was described then as potentially life-threatening injuries, according to law enforcement. Police said at the time that a second individual – a 33-year-old male – was brought to a hospital by an unknown person and was in stable condition.
Police said in June that one of the victims has required several surgeries, still has serious health issues and will require a “lengthy recovery period.”
Police said the preliminary investigation showed the shooting was connected to another instance of shots being fired into two homes on Harper Street in May.
Officials say 18-year-old Isaiah Long of Efland has also been charged with the same offenses as Owens. Long was being held in the Alamance County Jail for a robbery in Burlington as of last update.
Owens has a court date listed for Thursday.
