CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Sexual assault kits initially tested in 1992 and completed in 2018, as part of a federal grant, led police to a suspect accused of sexually assaulting two victims in Charlotte.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police arrested and charged Antwan Kirkland, 45, Wednesday.

On May 30, 1992, two victims -- a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old -- were leaving the Charlotte area when two men asked for directions. The men got into the vehicle and told the victims to drive them to a location, where they robbed and sexually assaulted them at gunpoint.
The victims were treated at Carolinas Medical Center, where the sexual assault kits were administered. The kits were later tested again.
