Duo to return to Maryland to face trial in soldier’s death

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — A federal judge has ordered that a soldier stationed in San Antonio and his girlfriend be returned to Maryland to face charges related to the shooting death of his wife, a fellow soldier.

The San Antonio Express-²ÝÝ®´«Ã½ reports (http://bit.ly/2ePijb2 ) 35-year-old Army Sgt. Maliek Kearney was denied bail during a court hearing Tuesday.

Kearney’s girlfriend, 31-year-old Dolores Delgado, waived her bail hearing Tuesday.

Federal prosecutors in Maryland have indicted Kearney and Delgado each on a charge of interstate travel to commit domestic violence resulting in death.

Police say 24-year-old Pfc. Karlyn Ramirez was fatally shot in her townhome near Fort Meade, Maryland, in August 2015.

During Tuesday’s hearing, an FBI agent testified the couple’s 5-month-old daughter was placed in Ramirez’s arms by Kearney after he shot her. The infant was unharmed.
