*A couple in Maryland was found shot to death in their bed, surrounded by 42 spent shell casings in what police describe as a “crime of rage and anger.”
RadarOnline reports that the incident occurred on around 1:30 a.m. on August 25, while four young children, all under the age of 11, were in the home. The children hid for hours before calling 911. The victims, Crimea Baker, 33, and Sean Lange, 34, shared one child together. Fortunately, none of the children ages 11, 10, 9, and 7 months, were harmed and are now under social services’ care.
“Based on the conversations with the children, it happened about 1:30 in the morning and we believe, based on what the children told us, they hid in the house until morning until they felt safe, to try to figure out what had happened,” Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said at a press conference.
“I can’t imagine what’s going through their minds. One of the children discovered his mother and the gentleman in the bed, dead, at the time. I can only say their lives are destroyed, upside-down right now,” Jenkins added.
A fundraiser was set up to help keep the children together.
“This was really a heinous, targeted double murder, a crime of rage and anger. This is the type of crime that shocks the conscience of everyone in Frederick County,” Jenkins said.
Authorities stated that a preliminary investigation indicates Baker and Lange were shot 42 times at close range.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities still searching for a suspect.
