Kimberly Windsor, 47, of Linthicum Heights admitted to assaulting her 74-year-old mother Carol Windsor so bad that she died from her injuries days after Carol was viciously attacked, the office said.
“This is truly heartbreaking,” said State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess. “The defendant viciously attacked her own mother because she wouldn’t go to the store for her and the subsequent assault contributed to the victim’s death. It’s extremely sad. I extend my deepest condolences to the victim’s son and all those impacted by the loss of Ms. Windsor.”
Police responded to a reported assault at the Homewood Suites, located in the 1100 block of Winterson Road in Linthicum Heights, around 3:47 p.m. on May 19, 2020, the office reports.
The 911 caller, who was Carol's son, told police he heard objects being thrown as his mother and sister got into an argument. Responding officers found Carol bleeding from her right hand and admitting to breathing difficulties, the office reports.
Carol told officers that Kimberly threw a clock at her head, pulled her to the ground, pulled her hair, kicked her, ran over her with a wheelchair and tried to physically crush her. When officers tried to arrest Kimberly, she resisted and assaulted a fire official, the office reports.
Carol was later taken to Baltimore-Washington Medical Center where she was treated for three broken ribs and atrial fibrillation. She died five days later on May 24, 2020, the office reports. Her official cause of death was due to assault and cardiovascular disease.
Kimberly is being charged with second-degree murder and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 12, 2022.
