PARKVILLE, MD – Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a Parkville woman as a targeted crime, according to Baltimore County police.

Haw Sun Kim, 61, was found in the unit block of Luddy Court with traumatic upper body injuries Wednesday morning, police said. She was pronounced deceased at the scene, authorities reported.

Officers responded to Kim's residence at 1:34 a.m. on Wednesday after a housemate found Kim and called police, according to the report.
