My heart breaks for the children who hid in the closet from 1:30am until 7:00am (when they felt safe to even come out an assess what happened). All children under age 13.

**If admin/mod could pls adjust the date, it was actually Sunday that this heinous crime occurred. Thx.**

"Deputies said the children inside, all 13 years old or younger, hid until morning when they felt it was safe to emerge."

and

"According to the dispatch recording, a 10-year-old called for help.

"I can't imagine what's going through their minds," Jenkins said. "One of the children discovered his mother and the gentleman in the bed dead at the time. I can only say that their life has just been destroyed. It's upside down right now."

Yes … CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THE TERROR?!?!? For 5 and 1/2 hours they hid. Just heart-wrenching. :”(

Thank goodness he spared the children’s lives.

"The children are 11, 10, 9, and 7-months, according to an online fundraiser set up to help keep the children together."
 
This is such a heartbreaking case.

My previous post had an article that says the kids are 11, 10, 9, and 7 months. Can you imagine their terror, hiding themselves & their baby sibling, while their mom & her partner were shot point blank 42 times?

I hope there is a quick arrest.

Those children must be utterly shell-shocked.
 
It looks like there may have been potential DV issues in 2018 -- search a popular fundraising site for "Crimea Baker".

If so, it mentions DV in her past and what sounds like an unstable ex.
Has anyone been able to determine whether LE is considering the ex a person of interest/potential suspect or not? (I have not been able to find any articles listing potential suspect(s) anywhere as yet.)

I haven't. Like you, I haven't found any articles yet with potential suspects or even any updates in the past 24+ hours.
 

"The search is going beyond the Maryland borders with more manpower added to the case, Jenkins said.

While Jenkins did not go into detail about what agencies are involved in the investigation, he said investigators interviewed Baker's ex-husband who lives in Miami.

"We have talked to the ex-husband in Miami. He alibied, so we're checking into the information he gave us," Jenkins said."
 

A family is fighting to gain custody of four children after their mother, a Mundelein native, was murdered by a gunman at her Maryland home as her children hid inside the residence.

The slain woman’s mother and father are now fighting to gain custody of Baker’s young children, who are ages 11, 10, 9 and 7 months old. The family said they have not been able to begin processing the “tremendous loss” yet because of the custody battle.

Baker had sole legal and physical custody of the children at the time of her death.

I wish Crimea's family the best & I hope her parents are able to gain custody of the children so that they can remain together.
 
I looked for updates, nothing more recent than @vls12345 article from Sept 10th. I guess the investigation is still ongoing - though I have my suspicions on who is being looked at.

Who has physical custody of the kids right now?
