VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Neighbors at Lake Smith Condominium in Virginia Beach are reeling after police accused a woman, 30-year-old Christina Wang, of shooting and killing her husband.
Investigators said they found the man, Calvin Wang, 37, shot to death on Monday afternoon. Virginia Beach police officers said dispatchers brought them to Bardith Circle for a possible homicide.
The community is located off Independence Boulevard, near Pleasure House Road.
"It's highly unusual out here," said longtime resident R. Johnson.
Other neighbors off-camera described the homicide as "wild" for the area.
Everyone 13News Now spoke with mentioned a feeling of sadness, even though they do not know the Wangs.
"It's terrible. It was very sad. I think mostly everyone was surprised," said resident Erika Guess.
Detectives said they arrested Calvin Wang's wife in connection to his death on Monday. Christina Wang is charged with second-degree murder and using a firearm while committing a felony.
"It's a sad situation, when it resorts to that," Johnson added.
The "offense date" is marked as Saturday, two days before Mrs. Wang's arrest, according to online court records. That means the murder may have taken place over the weekend.
Neighbors 13News Now spoke with did not recall hearing any gunshots.
There are still many unknowns to the public surrounding this case. As detectives sort through their investigation, some neighbors said they are relieved there is no active threat to the community.
"It appears there is no danger, but it doesn't make it any less tragic," said Guess.
Christina Wang declined our request for an interview from jail. She is being held without bond in Virginia Beach and is scheduled to appear in front of a Virginia Beach judge on Wednesday morning.
