Greensboro, NC:

A church that suffered the death of one member in January learned this week that a former member has been accused of killing her....

Neighbors in Newell's Lovett Street neighborhood were shocked to find out that the man they knew as a kind and spiritual neighbor had been arrested in connection with the murder.

Mary Givens was stunned, reflecting on a conversation she had with Newell in April as he prepared to leave the state for a mission trip. He told her that his girlfriend had recently been murdered and her strangled body had been found by her mother.

He said there were no suspects in the case, but police were looking for an ex-boyfriend. Givens said they continued to talk about Jesus and she didn't think any further about what he told her until she learned of his arrest.
