WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — One woman is dead, and another person is hurt after a shooting near an apartment building in Winston-Salem according to police.

She died at the scene.

Another victim 33-year-old Steven Seward Jr. was taken to the hospital with a gunshot wound.

He was treated and released.

Officers say Finney and her attacker, who is a juvenile, knew each other. He was taken into custody and transported to a juvenile facility without bond.

Because the suspect is a juvenile, investigators have not made his identity public.
