HOWARD COUNTY, Md. (7News DC) — Two different police agencies in Maryland are investigating a domestic murder-suicide that happened Saturday afternoon.
According to the Howard County Police Department, officers responded to a shooting at an apartment complex just after 2 p.m. in the 7300 block of Eden Brook Drive in Columbia, Maryland.
When officers arrived they found Wendy Black, 42, and her ex-husband, Rajaee Black, 44, dead in the vestibule of the apartment. Detectives believe the woman is the ex-wife of the male suspect and that he sought her out after committing a similar crime in Baltimore.
Baltimore City police responded to an alarm just after 1:30 p.m. at the 1500 block of Marshall Street. Once they arrived at the scene, police discovered a woman had been shot and that there were signs of a forced entry.
The woman killed in the Baltimore shooting is believed to be the suspect's girlfriend, Howard County police said.
Baltimore City police notified Howard County police that there was a post made on social media that the suspect intended on going to Howard County. However, by the time Howard Police we made aware of the video, the shooting had already happened, according to police. Details about what exactly was said in this video, or if the suspect made threats, were not provided.
