Howard, 30, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of 33-year-old Bradyna Henson, who was found dead inside her Windjammer Court home in Essex, the Baltimore County State's Attorney's Office announced.
On April 14, 2022, officers were called to conduct a welfare check on Henson at her home, where they found her body suffering from traumatic injuries. It was later determined that she was shot and killed, and Howard was identified as a suspect after the two were in a contentious relationship.
In June, Howard was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder and weapons offenses.
