Desron Barber of Baltimore is charged with first-degree murder. Barber was arrested at the scene after the shooting, and was charged the next day. 

Officers responded around 7 p.m. last Wednesday, May 24, to an area hospital for a shooting victim, where they found the victim, identified as 31-year-old Biancha Johnson. She was pronounced dead that night. 

Investigators believe the woman was involved in a fight in the 3200 block of Shannon Drive when a man fired a gun into the group.
