A Fayetteville woman wanted on first-degree murder charges surrendered Thursday to Cumberland County sheriff’s deputies.

Taylor was charged with the shooting death of Erica Rose Matthews, 22, of Locklear Street. Matthews was found lying on the ground in front of a 2963 Driver St. home at around 6 p.m. Tuesday.
