A chaotic shootout broke out Friday night, June 13, at the Creekwood Apartments on Old Greensboro Road — leaving 50-year-old Pariss Tucker Baines dead and another woman seriously injured.

Winston-Salem police pulled up to the 2400 block of Old Greensboro Rd around 9:21 p.m. after reports of heavy gunfire. Officers found Baines lying outside her apartment at 2425 Old Greensboro Road — she was pronounced dead at the scene.
