VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A woman accused of murdering her husband in Virginia Beach admitted that she shot him, court documents obtained by 13News Now show.
Christina Wang, 30, is charged with second-degree murder and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Her husband was Calvin Wang, 37, an active-duty Navy sailor.
According to the documents, Christina said she and her husband got into an argument, during which she slapped him.
After Calvin told her to leave, she pulled out a gun and shot him twice, the documents claimed. She said the whole thing was caught on camera.
Virginia Beach police officers said they found Calvin's body at a Lake Smith Condominium unit on Bardit Circle Monday afternoon. However, investigators listed the offense date as July 15, meaning they have reason to believe the murder happened two days before Christina's arrest.
"One of the most important things is to understand the action that resulted in his terrible death," said Dr. Alice Twining, a local clinical psychologist who mentioned providing testimony or expertise in more than 40 domestic violence homicide cases.
Dr. Twining described the Bardith Circle homicide as a complicated situation, adding police investigators will need to uncover the couple's history along with context.
"There are many, many things that must be thoroughly investigated about the history," said Dr. Twining. "A whole lot of things happened in this relationship before that final event, which is a terrible tragedy. [It] always is a tragedy and has a ripple effect that goes way out into all the families."
Other documents from the Virginia Beach Circuit Court outlined some past troubles in the relationship. Married since 2016, Calvin filed for divorce in July 2022 on grounds of adultery.
Calvin cited his wife's affair with another man. The paperwork also outlines conflicting accounts between attorneys. Christina's lawyer says Calvin "condoned" the adulterous acts, a claim Calvin's lawyer denies.
Court records also show the couple previously lived together in the Shell Cove neighborhood of Virginia Beach. Christina's felony arrest warrants list that home as her current address.
On Monday afternoon, police responded just across the street at Lake Smith Condos. They say they found the body of Calvin with what looked like gunshot wounds. Neighbors off-camera told 13News Now that is where he lived.
Furthermore, viewers have sent 13News Now screenshots of Facebook posts written by Christina Wang. She wrote them on a local private group called "Are We Dating the Same Guy?" In the posts, she attached a photo of Calvin's dating app profile and alerted other women he's married.
Christina currently sits in Virginia Beach jail. She declined an interview with 13News Now. Her next court hearing is set for July 26.
