GREENSBORO, N.C. — Update: A suspect is now in custody, Greensboro police said Tuesday. Police did not name the suspect.
A 32-year-old woman is dead after a shooting in Greensboro on Sunday.
It happened just before 2 a.m. on New Year's Day. Police got a call about gunshots.
Police said they found Natasha Walker suffering from a gunshot wound near Cridland Road and Parkway Street.
She died from her injuries at the scene.
Walker's childhood friend and cousin said she was taken too soon.
"The first thing I thought about was her children, her business partner. That's pressure, that's everyday life. She was a business/work-from-home mom," childhood friend Stephanie Crite said.
Walker was busy running several businesses, including working with people to build their credit and managing rental properties.
She got married in 2021 and her cousin said it was straight out of a fairytale.
"Just a conversation and she'll change your whole life. I was talking with some people that I brought her around for just one hour, and they were like, 'Oh my God, just that one hour, she made me go rethink life, and that was the person she was. You would want to be around her," Lucretia Gordon said.
Gordon said Walker was a great wife and a great mom to two kids.
Her friend and cousin said she was out celebrating New Year's Eve, and when she left, something didn't feel right.
When they learned she'd been killed, they said it was difficult to understand.
Police haven't arrested anyone in the case, but said it is being investigated as a homicide.
