16-Year-Old Charged In Murder Of Baltimore DoorDash Driver
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A 16-year-old boy is under arrest in the murder last month of a delivery driver in Northeast Baltimore, authorities said Wednesday.
The teen turned himself in shortly after 12:30 a.m. Wednesday to face charges in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Cheryl McCormack, Baltimore Police said.
McCormack, 51, was found dead about 2:18 a.m. that day in the 3900 block of White Avenue after she was shot during an attempted robbery, police said.
McCormack's husband told WJZ his wife was driving for DoorDash that day when her car ran out of gas. He said his wife was accosted when a friend went to get gas.
"They tried to take my wife's wallet and her purse," McCormack's husband said. "She wouldn't give it up and they shot her."
About two weeks later, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released surveillance video of two teens suspected in McCormack's murder.
The agency also offered a $5,000 reward for tips leading to the pair's identities.
Based on witness interviews and surveillance footage, detectives identified the 16-year-old as the shooting suspect, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The teen surrendered at Baltimore Police Headquarters about 12:37 a.m. Wednesday.
He was booked on a charge of first-degree murder and remains in police custody while awaiting court proceedings in the case.
