  • Frederick County Sheriff describes double murder as ‘rage killing’

    NEW MARKET, MD – A double homicide that occurred Sunday in New Market was described by Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins as a “rage killing by an angry, agitated individual.” The victims, Crimea Malita Baker, 33, of New Market, and Sean Antoine Lange, 34, of Arlington, Virginia, were found with more than 40 gunshot wounds in a bed in Baker’s Mandalong Court home.
