On the evening of April 10, 2020, emergency crews answered a fire at a second-floor apartment on Highview Terrace in Chillum, Maryland. Firefighters found 23-year-old Zena Nichols in a bedroom with severe burns; she was pronounced dead at the scene. An autopsy later showed Nichols had been shot multiple times, and the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide.

Investigators focused on 42-year-old Jerome John Harris, the resident of the apartment, and said Nichols and Harris had been in a relationship. Authorities allege Harris shot Nichols and then set the fire to conceal the crime. Harris fled after the incident; an arrest warrant charging him with first- and second-degree murder, arson and assault was issued and a reward offered. He was taken into custody in Brooklyn, New York, on April 14, 2020, and held there pending extradition to Prince George’s County.

Does anyone have information about Nichols, Harris, or the apartment building on Highview Terrace that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
