A woman was killed in a shooting in Raleigh on Wednesday morning.

The shooting happened on Calumet Drive by the Pines of Ashton apartment complex.

Police found Symantia Nekita Blythe with multiple gunshot wounds. She was taken to the hospital, where she died. Blythe was 34.

On Thursday, police announced that Deran Anthony Miles was arrested in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and charged with murder in connection with the case. Miles is currently awaiting extradition back to North Carolina.

Many children were out waiting for the bus near the time of the shooting being reported, just before 7 a.m.
