On the morning of February 7, 2017, 28-year-old Marilyn Jaz Scott was found inside her vehicle on the 200 block of Clarkes Ridge Court in Bel-air, Maryland, the victim of a fatal shooting. Deputies from the Harford County Sheriff’s Office responded after residents reported gunshots just before 6 a.m. Her keys were still in her hand, suggesting she was preparing to start her car for a roughly 50-minute commute to Air National Guard offices in New Castle, Delaware when she was ambushed and suffered multiple gunshot wounds.

Marilyn, a staff sergeant in the Air National Guard, was three months pregnant; both she and her unborn child died in the attack. Investigators concluded the shooting was not a random robbery—nothing was taken—and determined she had been specifically targeted. No arrests have been announced and the case has gone cold, though authorities say they have narrowed focus to a potential person of interest but lack evidence to prosecute.

Marilyn’s family described her as driven and independent; she held a bachelor’s degree in English from Coppin State University, was a talented athlete and was working toward becoming an officer in the Air National Guard. Can anyone who knew Marilyn or saw activity near Clarkes Ridge Court that morning share what they remember?
