Maryland mother charged with murder of her 3-year-old child
A Maryland mother was charged with murder Wednesday in connection with the death of her 3-year-old child in November 2024, according to Howard County police. Police said Shalyne Brown, 27, does not have a permanent address, but was staying in Columbia at the time of her child's death. She was charged with murder and child abuse, officials said. Officers said they were called to the home in Columbia on Nov. 1, 2024, for a reported dead child. When they arrived, officers found that the child's body had multiple bruises and scars. An autopsy, completed in March, showed that the child's death was due to dehydration and malnourishment, police said. Through an investigation, police determined that Brown was responsible for her child's death due to neglect and abuse. Brown was arrested in Pennsylvania and was transferred to the Howard County Detention Center, where she is being held without bond. She is expected to appear in court on September 4, court records show. In Maryland, nearly 83 children died from neglect or abuse in 2023, according to a report from the Children's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Maryland has seen several cases of maternal filicide, or instances where a mother kills her child, in recent years. In May, a Baltimore County mother, Aurielle Montgomery, pleaded guilty to killing her 1-year-old daughter in 2022. Officials determined that her child, Nyemia Gilliard, died from trauma. Montgomery was the sole caregiver for Gilliard, who was found unresponsive in an "odd position" in a Baltimore home, court documents detailed. Another similar case in June led to charges for a Maryland couple. Maryland mother Darrian Randle and her boyfriend, Cedrick Britten, were accused of killing Randle's 3-year-old and attempting to hide her body before reporting a false kidnapping in Delaware. According to court documents, an investigation after the false kidnapping report led to the discovery of 3-year-old Nola Dinkin's body in a Cecil County park. Randle and Britten are both facing charges in connection with Dinkin's death.

D.C. Crime Is Real; Solutions Are Complex
To the Editor: Re 'Criminal Fights Crime,' by Maureen Dowd (column, Aug. 17): Ms. Dowd is right: crime remains rampant in Washington, but it's nothing new. I lived there from 1970 to 2009. Almost everyone I knew had been in some way victimized. At night I carried a baseball bat while walking my dog in our affluent Chevy Chase neighborhood. During the day I locked the doors behind me when I took the trash down to the end of my driveway. I slept poorly when my husband was out of town, despite the fact that we had a home security system. During those years I was mugged by three teenage assailants in the Adams Morgan neighborhood. My 19-year-old son had his bicycle taken from him in Chinatown by a group of thugs who had surrounded him. I had cars stolen twice, was awakened by a would-be intruder at my Capitol Hill townhouse and mourned two friends — a married couple — murdered during a home invasion in their Logan Circle neighborhood. One of my friends was raped, another recently slashed while entering his home. The list goes on. Andrea RoudaFreeport, Me. To the Editor: As someone who worked for over 20 years seeking to improve conditions for residents, workers and visitors in Washington, I am both concerned and hopeful about President Trump's efforts to make it safer by sending in National Guard troops. I think Maureen Dowd is right that the president's opponents 'should not pretend everything is fine' in Washington 'because it's not.' Even if it is lawful for the president to take over the local police and call in the National Guard, the question is whether that is the best way to reduce crime in the city. I don't think it is. Federal agency officials and out-of-town National Guard don't really know the city and its people. Reducing crime takes trained local police who know their communities and who are known to and trusted by those communities. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
