Teen Charged in Double Homicide | Annapolis News

A chilling double murder in Gwynn Oak has sent shockwaves through the community: a 16-year-old is now facing adult murder charges for killing 15-year-old Giovanna Myrie and her 9-year-old brother, Steve Allen. Investigators say the teen had been online with Giovanna for weeks, and days before the killings, he allegedly threatened her with a gun—claiming he’d kill her if she cheated. A FaceTime call revealed him holding the weapon while in bed with her. The final text from Giovanna—warning she’d be shot if she strayed—was sent the day before the murders. Their mother found them dead when she returned home. Police believe the younger brother may have been killed because he witnessed the crime. Authorities are still probing how the teen acquired the firearm. His arrest came just one day after a funeral Mass for the siblings, underscoring the tragedy’s devastating human cost.
