The shooting happened at an apartment complex on Calumet Drive around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday.
Symantia Nekita Blythe is the woman who was shot. First responders rushed her to the hospital, but doctors were unable to save her.
Witnesses said the person who shot Blythe drove off before officers arrived.
Still, investigators tracked down their suspect Deran Anthony Miles, 34, nearly 200 miles away in Myrtle Beach.
Miles is now in custody and awaiting extradition back to North Carolina.
