On November 23, 2021, 28-year-old Wayniqua Johnson was found dead of a gunshot wound inside her apartment on Stockmill Road in Pikesville, Maryland. Police responded to a shooting call at about 5:10 p.m.; her death was recorded as the 50th homicide in Baltimore County that year.

Investigators identified a suspect quickly and arrested 18-year-old Shaheem Muse, described as Johnson’s boyfriend, less than 24 hours later after he left the home where Johnson’s body was found. Authorities recovered a handgun from Muse at the time of his arrest. Muse was charged with first-degree murder and held without bond; a bail review hearing was scheduled for November 29, 2021. A motive was not immediately released by law enforcement.
