VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) – Court records show that a U.S. Navy sailor was discovered shot to death after a coworker came looking for him when he didn’t show up for work.
Virginia Beach Police believe Christina Wang, 30, shot and killed her 37-year-old husband, Calvin, at his Bardith Circle condo on July 15. His body wasn’t discovered until July 17 when a coworker came to Christina Wang’s home looking for Calvin when he didn’t show up for work at the Navy base in Norfolk. Christina Wang allegedly confessed to the coworker that she shot her husband. The coworker called 911 and stayed with her until police arrived, court documents state.
Christina and Calvin Wang did not live together. Christina Wang lived a short distance away, on Oyster Shell Lane.
