RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) – A 20-year-old was arrested Wednesday in connection with the murder of a young woman found dead in her apartment near North Carolina State University.
Raleigh police said 20-year-old Eric Gael Hernandez-Mendez, who was a roommate of Christina Maria Matos, was charged with her murder.
Officers responded to the 1500 block of Hillsborough Street on Sunday after it was reported that Matos, 20, didn’t show up for her birthday party on Saturday. She was previously a student at Wake Tech – but was not registered for this semester – and had just turned 20 years old on Friday. Her parents said she went out to celebrate with friends Friday night and that was the last time she was seen.

What to do with Confederate monuments removed by protesters and the governor in the summer of 2020 and what to do about a long-planned monument to African Americans on the grounds of the Capitol are questions that have both been stalled out for several months.
That could change this spring.
