A Shelby woman was shot and killed this week, according to Shelby police.
Lt. Brandon Spangler said Latoya Walker, 40, got into an argument with Johnny William Lockhart III just before midnight Tuesday on Bridges Street near Shelby High School.
Spangler said the argument led to a gun being involved, shots being fired and Walker being hit.
“She eventually succumbed to her wounds,” he said.
Lockhart, 52, left the scene and turned himself in to police Thursday, Spangler said.
He said Lockhart has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon. He is being held without bond, according to the Cleveland County Detention Center.
Spangler said both Walker and Lockhart lived in Shelby.
