Charlotte leaders to discuss taxi cab rules

Charlotte city leaders may officially rethink rules for taxis that are set to kick in soon.

Starting in July, cabs have to be six years old or newer. The city wants passengers to know Charlotte's cabs are new, clean and safe. Shirley Thompson is among the passengers that appreciate that. She said, "Of course, it's not your car so you want to be comfortable in something that you know you can go in just to go from point A to point B."

But cab drivers say that's unfair, that they can't afford to get new cabs that often. William Dobbins showed us inside his cab, a 2009, so he may have to get a new one in three years though this one, he says, drives great and is spotless.

He said, "It's not fair to the drivers; it's just not fair to the drivers."

Tuesday afternoon, a council committee will meet to discuss four options:
Keep the plan the way it is
Change the age limit for cabs
Give drivers an extra year before the rules kick in

Police arrest one suspect in deadly Kannapolis shooting

Tonight, police have one of the suspects in the shooting of a Kannapolis teen in custody.

Police took Damarick Harper into custody on charges of robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Officers are still searching for Darius Smotherson and a third, unnamed suspect.

As police continue to search for suspects, the family of Daniel Cooper, the teenager killed in the crime, spoke to Eyewitness News.

"The times we had with him, we're going to cherish," said Paul Ulm, Cooper's step-father.

Police say Cooper was in a car with a friend on Snow Street last Monday, when they were approached by three men who were apparently trying to rob them. At some point, a shot was fired and it hit Cooper in the neck.

"It happened when we were away and the police were here waiting for us," said Ulm. "It was just very surreal."

Cooper was just four days shy of his 18th birthday and three weeks away from graduation at A.L. Brown High School.

His friends there have painted a rock in his honor and written messages, which his parents have seen.

"He had a positive impact on a lot of his friends," Ulm said. "They would write things like 'just seeing you today and your smile, lifted me up.' "

Ulm said he primarily spoke on camera because he hoped someone would hear the story and reach out to Kannapolis Police with information that might lead to an arrest.
