A lesbian couple has joined an already filed lawsuit against HB2 after they say they were discriminated against by a local fertility clinic. The couple said they received a call on April 1 from the clinic informing them that the clinic was not working with same sex couples "because we are a busy clinic." HB2 took away the couple's right to file a complaint with the state for discrimination. (Ashlee McGeehan, Fox46)

Police have charged six people with the murder of Kynyatta Tshionna in northwest Charlotte last year. On Wednesday, CMPD announced the arrest of four men and a woman, all between the ages of 23 and 25 years old. Last night, police announced the arrest of a sixth suspect, 23-year-old Tevin Faulkner, for his involvement in the murder. Police found Tshionna suffering from gunshot wounds in a wrecked car on Rozzelles Ferry Road last July while responding to a nearby shots-fired call. The incident was presumably a robbery gone wrong, as attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery were part of all six suspects' charges. (Ryan Pitkin)
