Shannon Elizabeth Crawley

RALEIGH – After several delays, the trial of former Guilford County 911 dispatcher Shannon Elizabeth Crawley, who is charged with murdering a North Carolina Central University graduate student three years ago, began Monday.

Crawley is accused of fatally shooting 25-year-old Denita Smith of Charlote outside her Durham apartment in January of 2007.

The victim's fiance, who was also a Greensboro police officer, told investigators that Crawley was stalking him in the weeks before the shooting.
