Dontae Milton Black, 18, was arrested on charges linking to Avenanna Propst’s tragic slaying this week.

He could face life behind bars or even death for his alleged crimes under North Carolina law.

The shooting, which saw Avenanna gunned down and two teen boys, 15 and 16, shot and injured, happened on at a mall on Saturday evening.

Propst who died at the scene and the injured teenagers weren’t even involved in the fight which led to the shooting.

The boys weren’t Black’s targets and are lucky to be alive

Black allegedly opened fire outside in the direction of a sports bar called Dave & Buster’s.

It is believed that he argued with a 16-year-old boy at the mall before the group of teens were asked to leave.

Black went out of the main entrance but his opponant went out by the popular sports bar because he was afraid the 18-year-old had a gun.

When Black saw the teen leaving the restaurant parking lot, he allegedly pulled the trigger, killing Propst and hurting the other boys.

Propst was only in 8th grade when she lost her life last week and she was expected to graduate from charter school A.C.E. Academy this year.

Black was charged with first-degree murder and felony riot, with pending charges.
