In the late hours of a summer evening in Baltimore, a domestic dispute turned fatal, leaving a family shattered and a community searching for answers. On June 30, 2025, police were called to a residence on North Kenwood Avenue. Inside, they discovered 46-year-old Donte Chase suffering from a stab wound. Paramedics arrived swiftly and transported him to a nearby hospital, but his injury proved to be too severe, and he was pronounced dead. The male victim's death was ruled a homicide.
The investigation into the stabbing quickly focused on a single suspect. A few days later, on July 3, 2025, 37-year-old Sherrice Parker, a resident of Baltimore, surrendered to homicide detectives at the city's police headquarters. Following her surrender, Parker was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where she was formally charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Donte Chase. The incident was characterized by authorities as being domestic-related.
In the subsequent legal proceedings, more details of the case emerged. Sherrice Parker was also charged with the use of a dangerous weapon with intent to injure. During a court hearing in November 2025, a trial date was set for May 2, 2026. According to reports, investigators found a knife and blood throughout the home on North Kenwood Avenue. It was also reported that Parker had allegedly confessed to a family member that she had stabbed Chase, a confession that led to a search warrant for the residence.
