Name Released of Severn Woman Found Shot to Death

The woman found shot to death in her Severn home has been identified as Karlyn Serane Ramirez, 24, say police, who ask residents to contact them with any information about the homicide.

Anne Arundel County Police were called to the 8000 block of Millstone Court in Severn Tuesday morning after a neighbor noticed an open door at Ramirez’s residence. He received no response when he called to her, which he thought suspicious, and called police.

Officers found Ramirez’s body inside the house; a 5-month-old baby who appeared to be in good health was found next to the victim.

Fire department personnel took the infant to an area hospital as a precaution to be examined.

An autopsy performed Wednesday by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore determined Ramirez died from gunshot wounds and the case is a homicide.

There has been no information released by police about a possible suspect in the case.

Detectives plan to distribute a flier around the neighborhood in hopes of gathering information in the case.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Homicide Detective Jason McNemar at 410-222-4756. To remain anonymous, contact the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
