Woman dies after Fayetteville shooting, suspect sought
FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- A mother of six has died after she was shot while walking in Fayetteville Tuesday evening, police said.
It happened about 6:30 p.m. near Andy Street and Ike Street.
Officers said 32-year-old Angela Taylor was shot while walking near the intersection. She later died at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center Wednesday morning from her injuries.
The incident is now being investigated as a homicide.
Police are trying to identify a motorcyclist who was seen leaving Andy Street and turning onto Bragg Boulevard minutes after the shooting.
The motorcyclist was riding a cruiser-style motorcycle and was wearing a bright-colored shirt.
"This is broad daylight," Fayetteville Police Lieutenant Todd Joyce said. "If you saw this motorcycle, this person who had on this bright-colored t-shirt, call us. Let us know what you saw. Because even though this person may think that it's not relevant to the investigation, it can be a small piece of information that can help us solve this case."
Authorities also said they are working to find out whether Taylor knew the shooter in an effort to figure out a motive.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting investigation is asked to contact Detective M. Wooten with the Fayetteville Police Department at (910) 391-8630 or Crimestoppers at (910) 483-TIPS (8477).
