A man has been arrested in the killing of a 23-year-old woman on Mother's Day, according to Baltimore Police.

Tamal Johnson, 22, of Baltimore, is accused of fatally shooting Taniya Gray in the 4100 block of Mountwood Road.

Gray, the mother of a young daughter, was found in the backseat of a white Acura on Mountwood Road near Wildwood Parkway, according to police. After the shooting, she was taken to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

Resident startled by shooting

A resident told WJZ she called 911 after hearing gunshots and discovering the vehicle had rolled into a parked car.

When she looked inside the car, she said she saw Gray lying unresponsive in the backseat.

She told WJZ the shooting was a contrast from the usual peace in the quiet community.

Another resident told WJZ the shooting left them feeling unsafe - and that they were surprised by the incident happening in what they believed to be a friendly neighborhood.

Johnson was arrested in the 3000 block of Elizabeth Avenue on a warrant.

Baltimore Police said he is a "repeat violent offender."

Johnson was taken to the Central Booking Intake Facility, where he was charged with first-degree murder, second-degree murder, conspiracy, and various firearm offenses.
