RALEIGH, N.C. — A Raleigh man faces a charge of murder in connection with a death Sunday at a local apartment complex.

Investigators were called around 10:15 a.m. Sunday to Arden Woods Apartment Homes at 201 Loft Lane, near Six Forks and West Millbrook Roads, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said.

According to an arrest warrant, Wedjunald Gemeille, 21, of 201-20 Loft Lane, was arrested on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Angel D. Irby, 29, who lived at the same address.

Police have not released any details about their investigation, including how Gemeille and Irby knew one another, a motive or cause of death.

Neighbors said Irby was a local college student.

Gemeille, who was being held without bond in the Wake County jail Sunday evening, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday.

He is also one of four men charged with first-degree murder in connection with a man's beating death in 2010. The disposition of that charge, however, was unclear Sunday night.
