HORROR: Beloved Teacher Killed by Burglar with Extremely Long Criminal Record While Begging 911 Dispatchers for Assistance

A beloved teacher was brutally murdered over the weekend by a low-life thug who had no business being on the street to begin with.

As The New York Post reported, police officers discovered 57-year-old teacher Zoe Welsh with life-threatening injuries after police were called to a burglary at her Raleigh, North Carolina home on Saturday.

Raleigh police revealed that Welsh was on the phone with 911 dispatchers, begging for help when the intruder started assaulting her.

Welsh was transported to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.

She had taught AP biology and forensic science at Ravenscroft School in Raleigh since 2006.

Police later arrested 36-year-old Ryan Camacho and charged him with Welsh’s murder. His criminal history is extremely long.

Court records obtained by ABC11 show that Camacho has at least two dozen arrests and was found guilty in 2021 of escaping from a prison in Salisbury.

The New York Post reported that last month, a separate case for breaking and entering against Camacho was dismissed by a Wake County judge, who claimed Camacho was found to be incapable of proceeding.

The assistant district attorney tried to have Camacho voluntarily committed, but the court denied the request.

Welsh is being remembered as a wonderful teacher and family person by those who knew her.

“I’ll remember her smile; she was always happy,” said Olivia Alvarez, who worked as Welsh’s house cleaner.

“I love you, Zoe, so much, you are now with God, and this man is going to pay, he’s going to pay,” she added.

Welsh’s friends also took to Facebook, saying that she brought “joy and humor to every room she was in.”

‘The best way we can honor Zoe is to live out her values. Zoe had learned a very important lesson in life that she related to me many times . . . pick joy. Find joy, embrace it, follow it,’ they added.

A Ravenscroft School spokesperson said that Zoe’s death “is deeply felt by all of us who had the privilege of working with her and learning in her classroom.”

North Carolina Democratic Governor Josh Stein released a statement eulogizing Welsh while calling for boosting mental health funding and holding violent thugs like Camacho accountable.

Zoe Welsh, by all accounts, was a special teacher and person. My heart goes out to her family and students, who have suffered a traumatic loss from another senseless act of violence,’ he said before touching on Camacho’s criminal history.

We must invest in our mental and behavioral health system, which my public safety package would address.

People need to be safe in their homes and their communities. I will work with anyone who is committed to stopping crimes before they happen and holding violent criminals accountable.
