Owings Mills Man Gets 2 Life Sentences In Domestic Murders

TOWSON, MD — An Owings Mills man has been ordered two serve two life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole. A Baltimore County judge issued the sentence after the man was convicted of killing his ex-wife and her boyfriend.

Dominick Daniel Hursey, 44, of the unit block of Chase Mill Circle in Owings Mills, was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder by a Baltimore County jury in the spring.

Judge Mickey Norman ordered Hursey Tuesday to serve the rest of his life behind bars, issuing a sentence of life without parole and a consecutive life sentence for the two murders, which occurred on April 3, 2017.

Hursey was prohibited from contacting his ex-wife due to a protective order she obtained following an assault, officials said. Court records show the assault occurred on Feb. 25, 2017.

His trial for the assault charge had been scheduled for April 26, 2017, but by that time, prosecutors said Hursey had killed his ex-wife.

Chinika Hursey, 36, had been living separately from her ex-husband in the 4100 block of Bald Eagle Court in Randallstown. She and her boyfriend, Steven Scott Campbell, 36, were both found in a bedroom there, deceased from multiple gunshot wounds around 4 a.m. on April 3, 2017, according to officials, who responded after neighbors reported hearing gunshots.

Authorities said Chinika Hursey's 4-year-old daughter, one of her four children, was outside without shoes on when police arrived.

The house had been staged to make it look like there had been a burglary, prosecutors said, but nothing had been taken.

Officials said that Dominick Hursey had previously threatened to kill Chinika Hursey and Campbell. He lied about where he was at the time of the murders, and ammunition similar to the bullets used in the shootings was found with his belongings in a vehicle he was permitted to use, according to prosecutors.

Around the time of the shootings, prosecutors said Dominick Hursey had also received text messages from a woman warning him against "plotting evil."

Upon the arrest of Dominick Hursey, police said the murders may have been related to the separation of the Hurseys and custody of their children.

Court records show Dominick Hursey, whose address is now listed as the Baltimore County Bureau of Corrections, is slated to appear for a custody hearing on Aug. 8 in Baltimore County Circuit Court.
