Teresa Radford, 51, of Whitakers, North Carolina, was shot and killed on May 21, 2011, at a friend’s home in Nash County where she had been staying for about six weeks.

The attack also wounded homeowner Martha Worrell, 55, who was shot in the arm, and a friend, Shelton Whitaker, who was in a car in the driveway and was missed by a gunshot. James Radford then turned the gun on himself and survived; he was taken to Pitt Memorial Hospital in critical condition. Authorities planned to charge him with first-degree murder, breaking and entering, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Teresa had a restraining order against James and had been reportedly nervous and upset in the weeks before her death.

Teresa’s niece Billie Jo Arellano remembered her as a wonderful woman who welcomed family into her home. Does anyone have information about Teresa, her time in Whitakers, or the events at the Southwest Railroad Street address?
