Just before 8:50 p.m. on Monday, October 13, deputies responded to a 911 call about a shooting at the Taco Bell on U.S. 74. When deputies arrived, they found 23-year-old employee Dantreveion Hobbs had been shot in the kitchen area. Tragically, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives said the suspect sped away in a vehicle, and from that moment, the sheriff’s office said investigators didn’t stop working. Teams of deputies, detectives, and crime scene experts stayed on the case through the night and into the next day.
By 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, just 22 hours after the initial call, the UCSO said deputies had identified and arrested 22-year-old Gilecio Ritchie at his home in Indian Trail. He is being held without bond.
Authorities say Ritchie and Hobbs knew each other. Ritchie allegedly walked past several people to shoot Hobbs specifically, the UCSO said in a press conference.
This marks the second murder in the Union County Sheriff’s Office’s main jurisdiction in 2025. Both cases were solved in under 24 hours, the sheriff’s office said.
