SALISBURY — A Salisbury teenager has been charged in the February shooting of a man who was dropped off at the emergency room after he was shot in the head.

Deviyion Unique Barnhardt, 18, of the 300 block of Foster Lane, was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury; misdemeanor resisting, obstructing or delaying an officer; misdemeanor injury to personal property; and misdemeanor failure to appear in court.

He remains in the Rowan County under a $25,500 secured bond.

Salisbury police say Devron Davis, 25, was taken to Novant Health Rowan Medical Center with a bullet graze to the left side of his head. He was treated and released the same day.

Authorities said at the time that Davis refused to provide information about his injury and told detectives the shooting occurred at City Park. He later gave a different story.

Police investigators looked at surveillance video and determined he didn’t walk to the ER but was dropped off at the hospital in a vehicle.

The shooting occurred Feb. 20. Barnhardt is expected in court this morning for a first appearance.
