Angela Jeffress, a 56-year-old African American woman, was killed on April 22, 2022, in Roxboro, North Carolina, when multiple gunshots were fired at her home on Graham Drive in the early hours of the morning. Police responded to a shots fired call just before 2 a.m. and found numerous shell casings near the residence; Angela was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds. Her teenage son, who had been at home during the shooting, was unharmed, and her husband, MurRay Jeffress, learned of her death while at work.

Police say Angela was not the intended target and believe she was an innocent bystander struck in a drive-by shooting. She had worked 28 years at GKN Driveline in Timberlake and was about to retire; she graduated from Person Senior High School and was described as a well-known, kind member of her community. No arrests have been announced and the gunman remains at large.

If anyone has information that could help investigators, please come forward to assist the family and the ongoing investigation.
