GREENVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) A second suspect has been arrested in connection to the shooting at the AMC theater in Greenville Friday night.
Chadwick Cherry, 40, of Tarboro was arrested near the intersection of Greenville Boulevard and Memorial Drive.
Greenville police made the arrest with the assistance of the FBI and NCSBI Fugitive Task Force.
Greenville police said Cherry is believed to be the individual who fired the gun.
Witnesses told police the shooting stemmed from an altercation between Cherry and several other people over reserved seating.
No one was injured.
Detectives have obtained warrants charging Cherry with discharging a firearm in an enclosure to incite fear, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and possession of a firearm by felon.
He is being interviewed by detectives and will be booked into the Pitt County Detention Center later Monday evening.
Shameeka Latrice Lynch, 30, was with Cherry at the time of the shooting and was also charged in connection with the crime.
She turned herself into the Pitt County Detention Center on Saturday and made her first appearance in court Monday morning.
Lynch was charged with one count of discharging a firearm in an enclosure to incite fear and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to kill.
According to warrants, a .32 caliber pistol was used in the shooting.
Lynchs bond remains set at $250,000, and her next court date is March 14. She waived her right to counsel.
No additional arrests are anticipated, police said.

That’s how they do it in Wakanda.
All ‘Rats need to be disarmed.
I’d guess that would solve 99% of the gunz “problem”.
Last movie I saw in a theater was Team America, in 2004.
Did the theater have a no guns sign?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I’d like to thank all of the black mothers who give their children names that make it unnecessary for pictures to know the perpetrator is black.
Now, Shameeka wants a refund for the movie ticket, plus an apology from Management.
She claims she never did see the whole movie, just 45 minutes of commercials and previews. “That just ain’t right!!”///
To be fair, there was a lot of gunfire at many a The Sound of Music screening. /s
Ill have to look and see if anyone has pics of that.
In before the 'Religion Of Peace' Ⓒ ?
Crime rates would be so far down if the parents would have given them normal Western names.
“Shameeka” - good Norwegian name.
SO... who won the BETTING POOL on when gunfire would erupt at a showing of BLACK PANTHER ?
See, this woman is trying to be like Rosa Parks and ya’ll crackas are hating on her < /S >
Self referential micro-aggression.
Well, they missed their movie which is supposed to help black pride and all that.
Let me guess Lakeesha is a white amish lady?
