HENDERSON, N.C. (AP) - A man who police say shot an employee in a North Carolina grocery store has been charged with murder after she died from her injuries.

Local media reported that Henderson police officers were called to a Food Lion grocery store around 6 p.m. Saturday and found 23-year-old Shaekeya Danielle Gay.

Gay was taken to a local hospital and then transferred to Duke Medical Center in Durham where she died Monday.



Twenty-three-year-old Marcus Tyrell Hargrove of Vance County surrendered to police around 12:20 p.m. Monday. Hargrove had originally been charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

Hargrove and Day had apparently been involved in a relationship.

It was unclear whether Hargrove has an attorney yet.
