Officers responded to calls about a shooting near 402 S. William Street. At the home, officers found the woman with an apparent gunshot wound. Shortly after the 1 a.m. response, a man was found at the intersection of William Street and Elm Street with an apparent gunshot wound.
They were both transported to Wayne UNC Health Care where the man, 19-year-old Khalil Herring, died from his injuries.
According to reports, two masked intruders demanded money after forcing their way into the home. They shot the woman in the leg, prompting the woman’s 12-year-old grandson to shoot at the intruders in self-defense.
