DURHAM, N.C. — A former Guiliford County 911 dispatcher was indicted Monday in connection with the shooting death of a North Carolina Central University student in January.
A grand jury indicted Shannon Crawley for murder. She's accused of killing Denita Smith, a graduate student from Charlotte.
Smith was found dead at the bottom of a stairwell in the Campus Crossings Apartments complex on East Cornwallis Street in Durham on the morning of Jan. 4. Investigators later said she was killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of her head.
Crawley, a single mother with two elementary school-age children, lived blocks from Smith's fiancé, a Greensboro police officer, who told investigators Crawley was stalking him.
