WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Police said a woman is in custody after an argument with her boyfriend led to a shooting in Winston-Salem 

Winston-Salem police said Nico Farabee, 32, and his girlfriend Talisa Walker, 31, were arguing at a home on the 900 block of Glencoe Street, when Walker took out a gun and fired one round at Farabee striking and shattering the glass front door Saturday shortly before 5 a.m.

Officers said a struggle for the gun between Farabee and Walker began. During the struggle Farabee sustained a gunshot wound to his shoulder.

Police seized the gun once they arrived.

Walker was not injured during the incident and was arrested for unrelated Orders for Arrest for failing to appear in court on separate matters.

The Forsyth County District Attorney’s Office was consulted and charges were sought on Walker for the shooting.

She was taken into custody Saturday without incident.

Walker received no bond due to this incident being domestic violence related.

Police said Farabee's injuries do not appear to be life-threatening at this time.
