RALEIGH, N.C. — A woman who had worked as a safety assistant with Wake County public schools was shot and killed at a Raleigh apartment complex on Ileagnes Road in Raleigh at around 2 p.m. on Tuesday.

Sharen White, 47, had worked in the WCPSS transportation department for nearly four years.

Residents of the Dover Apartment complex who spoke with WRAL News said they heard two gunshots on Tuesday afternoon.

Rodolfo Laguna, who lives in a house down the street from the apartments, said that the area is usually calm.

"Yesterday was like something out of the ordinary," she said.

The person who called 911 said that he saw White's body outside of an apartment and heard gunshots. White died of her injuries shortly after police arrived, according to officials.

Her husband, Santago Oslo White, 56, has been charged with murder in connection to White's death.
