Maryland double murder suspect arrested in Miami Beach
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. – Weeks after a horrific murder in Maryland where police say the killer shot off more than four dozen rounds, authorities have arrested the suspect in Miami Beach.
Investigators say an enraged ex drove over 1,000 miles to commit the crime. Police found evidence inside a Miami Beach apartment on Saturday, leading to an arrest.
Investigators say Crimea Baker and Sean Lange were shot multiple times by Baker’s ex-husband, 33-year-old David Turner on Aug. 27.
Police believe Turner broke into their New Market, Maryland, home and shot off at least 42 shots.
“We believe Turner entered the back door of the residence sometime after 1 a.m., before 1:25, and murdered her and Mr. Lange in the bed in the bedroom firing more than 42 rounds,” Frederick County, Maryland Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said.
Inside at the time were Baker’s children, who were not hurt during the shooting but hid for hours before calling police.
“I’ve never seen anything to this degree, really it was unbelievable,” Jenkins added.
Jenkins said Turner drove from Miami Beach to Maryland to kill the couple.
It would be weeks before the FBI and Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale police would cuff Turner following search warrants on his car and Miami Beach apartment and an alibi that didn’t match up.
Video shows a SWAT team going into the Miami Beach building off West Avenue. That is where police say they found evidence to get that arrest warrant. Investigators believe this may have been a crime of passion that was domestic-related.
“There is no explanation that I can think of that would have justified anything like this,” Jenkins said.
Turner will be extradited to Maryland soon to face two counts of first-degree murder and home invasion charges. He was being held in the Broward County jail.
Baker’s family has set up a GoFundMe page for those children who are now left without their mother.

Local leaders in Md. unite for Juneteenth Heritage Festival
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore spoke about the difference between liberation and freedom, in the opening ceremony of the 2026 Scotland Juneteenth Heritage Festival, in one of Montgomery County’s oldest historic Black communities.
In Cabin John Regional Park, Moore was joined by local dignitaries, including descendants of William Dove, the first formerly enslaved man who purchased 36 acres of farmland in 1880 for $210, located in what is now Potomac.
Moore said that ending slavery was an important moment of liberation, celebrated by Juneteenth, “but liberation is not freedom.”
Even after liberation, Moore said that “the idea of freedom became something that still remained elusive.”
When Dove purchased property in the Scotland community, Moore said that economic empowerment was a step toward freedom.
“The freedom to be able to own more than you owe. A freedom to be able to pass something along to your children besides debt. A freedom to be able to walk freely, knowing that you should be able to feel safe in your own community, in your own neighborhood, and in your own skin,” said Moore.

A University of Maryland (UMD) football player was arrested for harassment, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office.
Dontay Joyner, a defensive back and rising senior at UMD, was charged with telephone misuse for making repeated calls, electronic communications harassment, and violating release conditions, a misdemeanor offense, according to court records.
Joyner’s attorney is calling the ordeal “outrageous,” saying “[Joyner] has been locked in a cage in Harford County for seven nights after being charged with a misdemeanor for telephone misuse for texting his longtime girlfriend during an argument. This is simply outrageous.”
Joyner’s attorney, Former Attorney General Douglas Gansler, said the 21-year-old has never been in trouble with the law and does not own a handgun. According to Gansler, Joyner’s girlfriend is “fully supportive of him and does not want to press charges.”
According to the UMD Terps website, Joyner is a Lakeland, Florida, native who previously attended Arkansas State. In the spring, Joyner was given the Nick Cross Defensive Back Award in a tradition that honors “past terrapin greats.”
According to court records, Joyner was held without bond.
WJZ has reached out to UMD officials for comment.
