Hagerstown resident Cleo Hermon Brown, 50, was apprehended in Harrisburg late on Sunday afternoon in connection to the death of Renee Elizabeth Shoemaker, authorities announced.
At approximately 10:30 a.m. on April 28, officers from the Hagerstown Police Department were called to conduct a welfare check in the 400 block of McDowell Avenue, where they found Shoemaker's body in the home she shared with Brown.
