After Infant Dies, Owings Mills Teen Charged With Murder: Police

OWINGS MILLS, MD — Police say an Owings Mills teen has been charged with murder in the death of his infant daughter in 2019. He was arrested a year and a day after the 1-month-old died, according to the Baltimore County Police Department.

Sean Darian Jackson, 16, of the 100 block of Enchanted Hills Road, is charged with first-degree murder.

The charge stems from a call that police received before 1 a.m. on Sept. 2, 2019.

Although they were dispatched to a reported cardiac arrest, officers said they found a baby with multiple injuries to her upper body. She was taken to Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced deceased, police said.

During the year between the baby's death and the arrest, officials said homicide detectives were on the case. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide, finding ongoing child abuse had been present in the household.

Jackson was being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center as of Friday.
