Callaway has been charged with one count of first-degree intentional homicide. This, after he allegedly shot and killed 24-year-old Shanel Negron.

When squads arrived at the scene, they found Negron lying face up on the sidewalk with a gunshot wound to the head.

According to the criminal complaint, several witnesses heard a gun shot(s) near N. Moreland Blvd. and Summit Ave. around 7:15 p.m. April 22nd. The suspects further indicated they saw a woman, later identified as Negron, lying on the walkway and a black male fleeing the scene.
