A 35-year-old woman now faces a murder charge after a woman she’s accused of shooting last month in Raleigh has died from her injuries.

Tiffany Latoya Jackson has been charged with murder in the death of 53-year-old Sharon Thomas on March 26, the Raleigh Police Department said Thursday.

The shooting occurred around 2:30 p.m. by the CVS on Battle Bridge Road, according to police.

A 911 caller said the shooting happened by the victim’s car, The News & Observer previously reported.

“They were coming into the driveway, they were cutting one another off,” the caller said. “The girl ... got out, pulled a gun, shot her, and now she’s acting like she’s a fool, running around in circles.”

Thomas was hospitalized after the shooting. Police did not describe her injuries, but said she died last week.

Jackson, who was arrested on an assault charge after the incident last month, did not know Thomas, according to police.

There have been at least 11 killings in Raleigh so far this year.
