closeRALEIGH -- Police this afternoon arrested the 26-year-old wife of a 46-year-old man who was found shot in the head in the Millbrook Exchange Park on Sunday morning.
Monique Suanne Berkley, who was herself shot in the shoulder, was charged with the murder of Paul Berkley, according to a news release from the Raleigh Police Department.
