Bond and extradition information were not immediately available.
Trivette said authorities are still not releasing information on motive in the shooting, which fatally wounded 32-year-old Quayshawn Rogers and wounded 26-year-old Kiara Scott as about 100 people were on the dance floor at San Lucas Mexican Kitchen on North Mosby Avenue. Scott, who was shot in the leg, is expected to make a full recovery.
The fatal shooting occurred around 1:45 a.m. when a person came out of the crowd and shot Rogers, who was pronounced deceased at ECU North in Roanoke Rapids.
