Christian Sturdivant, 18, is due in federal court Thursday after being indicted for allegedly plotting a New Year's Eve terror attack at Mint Hill locations.

The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that a Charlotte grand jury indicted Sturdivant for reportedly trying to aid ISIS. He was arrested and charged on Dec. 31, 2025, after the FBI reportedly learned he planned to use knives and hammers at a grocery store and fast food restaurant in a deadly attack. Prosecutors said he intended to kill as many people as possible until he was killed by law enforcement.
