Two Charlotte teens accused of promoting street takeovers on social media, court docs show
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — Two teens are behind bars, accused of promoting illegal street takeovers throughout Charlotte, court documents say.
The investigation began on March 7, when Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officers responded to numerous street takeover incidents throughout the weekend.
According to CMPD, about 100 vehicles and people participated in the street takeovers in Charlotte on that Friday. Between 11 p.m. Saturday, March 8, and 5:30 a.m. March 9, authorities say roughly 400 vehicles and people started fires and shot fireworks around multiple public roadways and parking lots across the city.

During the investigation, detectives discovered two Instagram accounts that featured highlights from street takeovers on 4901 Gibbon Road and 9541 South Blvd., edited together with music.
As detectives looked into the accounts, an affidavit indicates they determined that one of the accounts with the username '704nightmedia' was run by 19-year-old Jonathan Figueroa Hernandez. Another account, 'dogodondada' is believed to be run by 18-year-old Alexander Opoku Kyere.
A video allegedly posted to Kyere's account showed a Nissan 350Z doing donuts around a large crowd in the parking lot on Gibbon Road in north Charlotte.
The videos posted on both accounts had garnered more than 4,000 views and tagged the main organizer of the takeovers, '704meets,' who also reposted the videos to its stories.
Both teens were arrested and charged with organizing street takeovers, which are misdemeanors.
Kyere was released on a written promise to appear. Hernandez received a $1,000 bond. Both have court appearances scheduled for July 29 at 8:45 a.m.
