SAN ANTONIO — A federal judge has ordered that a soldier stationed in San Antonio and his girlfriend be returned to Maryland to face charges related to the shooting death of his wife, a fellow soldier.
The San Antonio Express-News reports Army Sgt. Maliek Kearney, 35, was denied bail during a court hearing Tuesday.
Kearney's girlfriend, 31-year-old Dolores Delgado, waived her bail hearing Tuesday.
Federal prosecutors in Maryland have indicted Kearney and Delgado each on a charge of interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in death.
Police say 24-year-old Pfc. Karlyn Ramirez was fatally shot in her town house near Fort Meade, Maryland, in August 2015.
During Tuesday's hearing, an FBI agent testified the couple's 5-month-old daughter was placed in Ramirez's arms by Kearney after he shot her. The infant was unharmed.
