FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) - A man has surrendered to police in a shooting death in North Carolina earlier this month.

Fayetteville Police Sgt. Shawn Strepay said in a news release that 38-year-old Cory J. Ward of Fayetteville surrendered to officers Sunday.

Police have charged Ward with first-degree murder, shooting into an occupied building and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.



Police say 26-year-old Quincetta Daniels of Hope Mills was wounded and later died from her injuries.

Police said Daniels and another woman were in a storage building behind a home when Ward fired into the building. The other woman was injured.

Police have not released a motive in the shooting.

It was not known if Ward has an attorney yet.
