Baltimore Police say an arrest was made in connection to the incident.
It all began on December 4, 2022 around 3:00am, officers were called to the 5600 block of Woodmont Avenue for reports of multiple shots being fired.
When they arrived, they located a young woman, later identified as Burrell, suffering from gunshot wounds.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigations revealed that the suspect, 22-year-old Malik McCormick, who was the father of Burrell's unborn child, was supposed to pick up Burrell to get some food.
Witnesses said that McCormick was Burrell's main source of transportation.
When notified of her death, police say McCormick lied to detectives on body worn camera footage, stating he hadn't seen the victim in two days.
A witness stated that McCormick confessed that he killed Burrell.
In addition to camera footage, evidence of domestic assault was also recovered.
According to multiple records recovered by police, McCormick took Burrell to the 5600 block of Woodmont Court, at which time he shot her multiple times with a 9mm handgun. He later fled away in his mother's vehicle.
Nathaniel Burrell, Jaymyra's father, said she was gunned down just feet away from his front door.
"I was in bed and my mother came to the window and said 'look at all of those police cars out there', and I saw all of the police out there," he remembered.
Months later, deputies from the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office discovered McCormick while conducting a traffic stop in South Charleston, West Virginia.
During the stop, law enforcement quickly found out McCormick had an outstanding warrant for Jaymyra's murder.
On Tuesday, McCormick was extradited from West Virginia to Baltimore where he is currently being held at Central Booking.
He is charged with first degree murder and various handgun violations.
