The charges stem from an early morning shooting Nov. 17 on Maplewood Street. Police and paramedics called to the scene found a man and woman shot inside a vehicle. Both were taken to an area hospital, where the woman died of her injuries.

Detectives determined the pair were targeted in the shooting and later identified Wiggins as a person of interest in the case. No information about a potential motive has been released.
