“They should have called her that,” Newton said. “She always smiled and was happy and was looking for happiness. She didn’t do anything to deserve anything like this, not that anyone ever does.”

Sabrina Goodman, 32, of 207 Balfour Quarry Road, Apt. 33, Granite Quarry, died Saturday night after suffering a fatal gunshot wound to the temple.

Today, her family begin the formal grieving process with visitation.

Meanwhile, the justice begins for the person charged with her death.

Monday, a grand jury indicted Goodman’s boyfriend, Shelly Lee Crayton, 37, of the same address, with first degree murder.

Crayton remains in the Rowan County Detention Center with no bond.

Crayton has refused to give police a statement.

In piecing together what happened Saturday night, police have received preliminary autopsy information.

Around 11 p.m. Saturday night, Goodman suffered three gun shot wounds from a 9 mm handgun.

Granite Quarry Police Detective David Earnhardt said the autopsy revealed that one shot entered Goodman’s thigh and exited through her groin area. The second went into her arm, came out her arm, entered her chest and came out again.

The third and fatal wound entered Goodman’s temple and went down through her body. Medical examiners recovered that fatal bullet in Goodman’s stomach area.

Apparently, that fatal shot was delivered with the killer above her, Earnhardt said.

The State Bureau of Investigation is trying to determine how close the killer stood near Goodman.

With a grand jury indictment in hand, the District Attorney’s office will take the case straight to Superior Court, where Crayton likely will have his first appearance in July.

Crayton has secured an attorney, Bays Shoaf.

Police believe Crayton shot Goodman after the two began quarreling. They think Goodman was trying to leave her live-in boyfriend of six months.

Whatever happened in their apartment, neighbors didn’t hear it.

Police do know that Crayton called 911 around 11 p.m. Saturday night. He told 911 operators that he had just shot somebody, “and he was waiting on the law to come,” said Police Chief Clyde Adams. “When they came, (he said) he’d put the gun down, and he’d come out and meet them.”

When they arrived on the scene, police converged on Crayton who did just as he said. He came out peacefully without a struggle.

Crayton also received a gun permit from the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office on Dec. 15, 1998.

Police found the notice that his gun permit was granted in Crayton’s truck.

Earnhardt doesn’t know how long Crayton has owned his gun or why he bought it. He said he’s filing the paperwork now requesting the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agency to track the gun and where Crayton bought it.

Goodman’s family didn’t want to say anything about her relationship with Crayton.

They just wanted people to remember her as full of happiness and on a quest for happiness herself.

“A lot of people, friends and family have been affected by this,” Newton said.

Goodman was a supervisor at Gaston Printing in Concord.
