26-year-old Unique Thorn was arrested in Ohio Thursday for allegedly shooting and killing 31-year-old Shy’Keema Turner near the 700 block of East Preston Street in Baltimore.

Turner was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead soon after.

According to Baltimore Police, the shooting happened on March 18th around 5:56pm.

Thorn would allegedly flee the state soon after.

Thursday morning, US Marshals, along with the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, found and arrested Thorn in Massillon, Ohio.

Presently, she is sitting in Stark County Jail, where she will await her extradition back to Baltimore.

Authorities say Thorn will be charged with first-degree murder.

U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott stated, “Outstanding collaborative police work from Baltimore, Maryland, to Massillon, Ohio, resulted in the arrest of this fleeing and violent fugitive. Strong law enforcement partnerships between local police departments and the US Marshals Service contribute to safer communities for the citizens of the United States.”
