The shooting, in which Xavieryon Semaj Harvey, 19, was charged, was apparently the result of an argument of an undisclosed nature.
Officers discovered Harvey at the scene and took him into custody.
First responders and Halifax County EMS performed lifesaving techniques on the male victim but their efforts were unsuccessful, Davis said.
The woman was taken to a nearby medical facility.
Harvey was taken before a magistrate and was jailed without the opportunity for bond. He has a district court appearance scheduled Friday.
The Halifax County Sheriff’s Office assisted.
