Military mom found gunned down with her baby in her arms – Everything Law and Order Blog

In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: Karlyn Ramirez might have had top-secret clearance at the National Security Agency where she worked, but no matter how much information she knew, nothing could protect her from her own husband.

When she was 21 years old, Karlyn enlisted in the U.S. Army, and met Staff Sergeant Maliek Kearney. The two fell in love and she eventually became pregnant with a little girl. Her pregnancy was something of a miracle, though, because she had cervical cancer and was told she would most likely not be able to have children. She gave birth to her baby girl, and Karlyn and her daughter lived in Fort Meade, Maryland.

Maliek and Karlyn eventually wed, but he was stationed in Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The distance ultimately drove them apart.

On August 25, 2015, Karlyn was found dead in her home with multiple gunshot wounds. Her little girl was still in her arms.

Investigators honed in on Maliek and his girlfriend, Dolores Delgado, as their main suspects. Over a year after her shooting death, a federal grand jury indicted the two for interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in murder. They were arrested October 6, 2016, in San Antonio.

Prior to her death, Karlyn obtained a protective order against Maliek, which prohibited any contact between the two. Federal prosecutors argued Maliek traveled from South Carolina to Maryland on Aug. 24, 2015, to kill his wife. They said Maliek walked into Karlyn’s home with his gun, and he shot her multiple times. He even pulled down her pants to make it seem like she had been sexually assaulted.

Before he left, he put the little girl in her arms.

Maliek drove his girlfriend Dolores’ car up to Maryland while she stayed behind with his vehicle and cell phone. Dolores even provided him with gas cans, so he didn’t have to stop in stations along the way. She also got rid of his clothing and the gun he used by tossing the items in a waterway in Florida.

Dolores pleaded guilty to interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in death and testified against Maliek at his trial. She was sentenced to 17 years in federal prison, with five years of supervised release.

On August 8, 2018, a federal jury found Maliek guilty of the same charge as well as using, carrying, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Let’s look back at the case of a young mother who defied odds and rose through the ranks, only to be gunned down in her own home.

  1. So after clearing the husband years ago they now say he did it and that his alibi is in on it??? So they don't have any real proof of this 🤔 so how can they charge him 🤔 not saying they're wrong BUT something seems fishy especially with the nsa involved and the phone calls she place the night of her death. And the odd experience of her sister coming home to the door open and TV on adds to the oddity of the case.

  2. She was a small woman and not to be sexist BUT a large male would easily overpower her even if she was an experienced martial artist. Too many strange odd things in this story and her national security job definitely adds to the craziness.

  3. What's wrong people?? They were married FIVE WEEKS! He could get the marriage annulled – no fuss. Why kill her and rob your own child of her mother? This is just too sickening. Poor, poor lady 😔 💐

  4. His girlfriend assisted in the murder of girl she likely didn't even know then turned on him in court? People are beyond crazy. Rest in peace Karlyn. I hope your daughter and family find joy in life's little things.

  5. Dear God. Why would you do that? Then put the baby in her dead arms. His baby. You sick twisted bastard. What was the motive. Why don't these assholes think oh divorce that'll do it. I can't get over it. I still don't understand why. May you rest in peace you beautiful girl. Karyln you shone bright and that's why as I always say the dark came for you. May your daughter keep you alive for all your loved ones and may you look after your little girl from Heaven. Amen

  6. That was not love. The man was obsessive and controlling. Some people fall in love too quickly. Loneliness is a terrible thing. Military couples don't have a great track record. I know too many military couples that don't last long.
