A deputy U.S. marshal shot and killed a man while attempting to serve an arrest warrant at a Charlotte gas station on The Plaza on Tuesday, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police said.

CMPD homicide detectives are investigating the fatal shooting that occurred at a Citgo location at the intersection of The Plaza and Parkwood Avenue around 11 a.m.

The victim of the shooting is Frankie Jennings, according to police and family members. He turned 32 on the day of his death.

According to his sister Latannya Jennings, he was the father of four children — two boys and two girls — and was originally from the Brooklyn borough of New York City. He had lived in Charlotte for 20 years and owned a car detailing business, she said in an interview with The Observer.
