In the early morning hours of August 25, 2024, Sean Antoine Lange, 34, was found dead alongside 33-year-old Crimea Malita Baker in an upstairs bedroom of their Mandalong Court home in New Market, Maryland. Both victims had sustained multiple gunshot wounds; investigators described the killings as a heinous, targeted double murder and estimated the fatal shots were fired about 1:30 a.m.

Four children under 13 were in the house during the shooting. They hid and remained concealed for hours; one of the children later discovered the victims. Authorities confirmed Baker was the mother of all four children and Lange was the father of one. None of the children were physically harmed.

Investigators identified a primary suspect as 33-year-old David Phillip Turner, Baker’s ex-husband and a Miami resident. Turner was arrested in Fort Lauderdale on September 28, 2024, and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, home invasion, and use of a firearm in the commission of a violent felony. He was extradited to Frederick County, Maryland, waived a bond review hearing, and was ordered held without bond. The sheriff’s office stated the killings were not random and that there was no ongoing threat to the community.
