KANNAPOLIS — The man killed in an officer-involved shooting on Wednesday has been identified.

Lamar Deshawn Young, 33, was killed after police say he fired at them when they attempted to arrest him, according to a spokesperson for the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office. Police attempted to Young at a location in the 3100 block of Bellwood Place, where he allegedly believed he was meeting a 15-year-old female for sex. Upon the suspect entering the home, officers reportedly attempted to place him in custody. Reports indicated that he resisted arrest, leading to him allegedly drawing a weapon and firing at the officers.

Young had been released from federal prison in January and was required to wear a GPS ankle monitor at the time of the shooting, according to the spokesperson. According to the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections, Young had previously served time for manslaughter and a drug-related charge. The manslaughter charges relate to a shooting in 2009 that left a man dead in Concord.

The shooting is being investigated by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation to ensure all polices and procedures were correctly followed. All officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave in accordance with policy for both the sheriff’s office and police department for all officer-involved shooting incidents, according to the release. Once the SBI investigation is completed, all information will be forwarded to the district attorney’s office for review.
