The man, Kvon Montrell Lassiter, faces a count of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, according to the state court calendar.

Lassiter, 23, had also been charged previously by the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office on an assortment of other charges, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department, which arrested him, reported earlier this month.

Chief Deputy Scott Hall of the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement in June the deputies responded to a shooting call on Victory Lane where the victim was shot.

The victim was injured from a single gunshot wound and taken for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The victim has since been listed in good condition.

Hall said motive behind the shooting was not clear.

Detective S.A. Bryant obtained warrants on Lassiter, who was arrested by the Hertford County Sheriff’s Office. He was jailed on $20,000 secured bond at the Hertford County Jail in Winton.
