Severn Woman Stabbed To Death Had Feared For Her Life: Police

SEVERN, MD — A Severn woman found dead in the basement of her home was stabbed to death, and had previously said in court documents that she feared for her life from her ex-husband, Anne Arundel County Police say. The father of 29-year-old Jasmine Sherel Adams called police just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday after finding her dead in the basement of her residence in the 1800 block of Hawk Court.

Detectives say Adams suffered trauma to her upper body. An autopsy performed Thursday by the medical examiner's office ruled Adams died from numerous sharp force injuries to upper body with the manner of death being homicide. What weapon or object was used in the attack has not been mentioned by police.

Authorities said it appears this was a targeted incident against Adams and not a random act of violence.

In court documents Adams previously said that the father of her twin 10-year-old daughters had threatened to kill her several times. The Capital-Gazette reports he has been in prison since July 25 on drug and weapons offenses.

Anne Arundel County Police ask anyone with information about Adams' death to call the Homicide Unit at 410-222-4731. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous can contact the Anne Arundel County Police Tip Line 410-222-4700 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
