Steven William Dias. Dias and James Michael Dollarhite, the man accused in the slaying, both had previous drug-related charges.
Dollarhite was in Mecklenburg County jail Friday night with no bond. In addition to murder, he's charged with communicating threats, assault by pointing a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon and going armed to the terror of the public.
Police said Dias arrived about 10 minutes apart from Dollarhite. Both men were armed with handguns and got into an argument. Several shots were fired in the back of the bar, which was occupied by about 40 people. Dias was shot and died at Presbyterian Hospital shortly afterward. Another unidentified person was treated at the hospital.
