Arrest made hours after Raleigh woman shot at apartment complex dies

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- Raleigh Police said officers have made an arrest in a Tuesday morning shooting that left a woman dead.

At 11:28 a.m., officers responded to the report of a shooting on North New Hope Road at the Lexington on the Green apartment complex.

When police arrived, they found a woman with gunshot wounds. Police announced hours later the woman had died from her injuries. Her name has not been released.

On Tuesday evening, RPD announced that Pacheco Bautista Valentin, 33, had been arrested. He was charged with murder.

The apartment complex where the shooting happened is just behind the Mini City Shopping Center on Capital Boulevard.

A woman who works at one of the businesses in that shopping center said she's heard gunshots coming from that apartment complex a few times in the last couple of months.

"Unsettling and sad. I hope the lady will be OK. They say she's got serious injuries in this, but I pray that she OK because everybody deserves a chance to live. And with the way things are now, it's just really sad. Really depressing," Theresa Puga said.

Police say there is no threat to the public. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 919-996-1193.
