CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - A teen is dead and his brother is charged after breaking into a home in southeast Mecklenburg County near Mint Hill on Tuesday, according to police. The incident happened at a home in the 8600 block of Rolling Fields Road, off of Whispering Falls Ave. near Fairview Rd. Police say they found and arrested 22-year-old Carlos Delcid on Tuesday night. His brother, 18-year-old Isai Robert Delcid, was shot by the residents grandson, according to police. “They heard some noises, saw an individual at the back of the residence trying to come into their house,” said Lt. Eric Brady of Charlotte Mecklenburg Police. Brady said when officers first arrived on the scene they found a man, later identified as Isai Delcid, dead at the back of the home. Police say the brothers were reportedly trying to break into the home when a 14-year-old, who was visiting his grandmother, shot Isai Delcid. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Carlos Delcid ran from the scene. Nobody likes to hear anything like this happened. A young fellow being involved... my grandson,” said George Wyant, the homeowner. Wyant said he was not home at the time of the shooting. He said a neighbor called him to tell him something happened. You wouldnt think it would happen. Why would somebody come way up here, bust in a house? I dont know, Wyant said. This isnt the first time his grandson has dealt with violence. WBTV learned the 14-year-old lost his father during a robbery-homicide in 2008. Wyant said his son-in-law, Greg Hernandez, was shot to death at his business, Gregs Automotive on Independence Blvd. He had the hood open in his car, Wyant said. He was a mechanic. It was his garage. Somebody came in and shot him. Wyants grandson was eight years old at the time. Now, six years later, he was apparently trying to protect his grandmother and himself from intruders. They lost their father and now something like this has to happen. The house on Rollings Field Road has been hit by criminals before. Twice last month I was robbed. I guess they came back.” He said thieves stole items belonging to his wife. Police have not said whether the cases are connected. Wyant said that his grandson did a good job, and that hes thankful he was there. What would have happened if he wasnt there? Carlos Delcid was taken into custody at the Mecklenburg County Sheriffs Office and charged with first-degree burglary. Police say they were initially given the identity of Isai Delcid as the brother charged in the case.
