On April 24, 2024, at about 3:00 p.m., officers in Winston-Salem responded to a reported shooting in the 400 block of Byerly Road and found 54-year-old Sandra Rae Ramseur with a gunshot wound. Life-saving efforts failed and she was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators say an altercation occurred between Ramseur and 44-year-old Clifton Ramon McMillan, during which McMillan allegedly shot her. McMillan was located soon after at a nearby residence, taken into custody without incident, and charged with felony murder; he is being held without bond.

Authorities have said the shooting was not random and that Ramseur and McMillan were acquainted, but they have not disclosed the nature of their relationship or a motive. Sandra Rae Ramseur, born August 25, 1969, is survived by her son Kevin McCullough Sr., grandchildren Kevin Jr., Brooklynn, Marley, Hayes, and Romeo, sisters Alicia Anderson and Misty Helms, and her mother Lujuanna Pagan; she was preceded in death by her son Alex McCullough and brother Eric Crowley. The investigation is active; anyone with information is asked to come forward.
