Law enforcement in Maryland is searching for a 28-year-old woman suspected of murdering her elderly grandmother and severely injuring another family member on Sunday.
Officials from Prince George’s County Police have issued warrants for Breante Thomas, charging her with first- and second-degree murder for the stabbing death of 81-year-old Helen Thomas.
