Cheryl McCormack, 51, of Nottingham was pronounced dead at the scene by medics, police said. McCormack was killed during “a robbery gone bad,” just past 2 a.m., police said.
McCormack’s husband, Jim, said his wife and another man were working for delivery service DoorDash when they had car trouble and stopped. McCormack said the man working with his wife told him two men tried to rob them, and when Cheryl McCormack said no, one of the men shot her.
“To walk up to somebody at that time of night, rob them, pull a gun on them for no reason and shoot them: That’s senseless,” McCormack told The Baltimore Sun outside his Nottingham home Monday. “It’s senseless, and it should be curbed.”
