stroud loved denita dearly. it didn t make sense that he woul kill the woman to whom he ha just proposed. they were planning a big wedding. now, after speaking with detectives jermeir headed back home t greensboro. his life changed forever. and then two hour after the murder, detectives got a lead 9-1-1. where is you emergency? campus crossing apartments. they discovered a secon 9-1-1 call that had come i around the time denita was killed i m hearing gunshots coming from somewhere around here the caller was th apartment s maintenanc supervisor, who had been working near denita s unit when he heard the shot, h looked up in that direction. and he told me he saw a female that was about 5 10 , hair in pony tail, and had some kind o emblems on her clothing.
