BALTIMORE — An Army sergeant has been convicted of killing his soldier wife in 2015.
The U.S. attorney’s office announced Thursday that a federal jury convicted 37-year-old Sgt. Maliek Kearney of San Antonio, Texas, of crossing state lines to commit domestic violence resulting in the death of 24-year-old Pfc. Karlyn Ramirez.
Prosecutors say Ramirez, who was assigned to Fort Meade in Maryland, was found fatally shot at her home with their 4-month-old daughter unharmed in her arms. The couple had separated.
