CHARLOTTE — Court records revealed new details in a deadly south Charlotte shooting that happened Friday morning.
Channel 9 reported when Ebonee Rahman was accused of killing 42-year-old Lashunda Shmicka McLendon on Archdale Drive, near Nations Ford Road.
According to the affidavit for Rahman’s arrest, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to call about a fight involving both women hours before McLendon was shot.

Rahman is now facing charges of first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a felon.
CMPD says that on Dec. 13, after the initial fight between the two women, officers received a separate call reporting McLendon had been shot.
Surveillance footage from the nearby Archdale Minimart showed that just before 10 a.m., Rahman approached McLendon, removed her jacket, and threw it to the ground. After a fight between the pair, Rahman walked toward the parking lot of the Archdale Minimart. About 30 seconds later, police say Rahman turned around, met with an unknown man, and retrieved a handgun from his jacket.
Rahman then shot McLendon, picked up her jacket, walked to her vehicle and fled the scene.
Witnesses told Channel 9′s Hunter Sáenz that two women were arguing before one shot the other.
“I saw some form of discussion, and then they calmed down, and then we heard a gunshot,” said Paula Gonzales, who was working at a food truck nearby.
“Every one of these situations is a tragedy. Whenever an incident is resolved with a firearm, tragedy ensues. That’s what happened here today,” said Major Ryan Kendall.
It happened in an area that has seen violent crime recently.
Four days ago, police said a 25-year-old man was shot and killed just half a mile down the road on Archdale Drive. And back in May, police responded to the same area after two people were seriously hurt in a shooting.
Police said none of those shootings are related, but witnesses feel more needs to be done.
“I would like police and detectives to check the area more often because I see a lot of groups of people,” Gonzales told Sáenz.
