ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (AP) - The mother of an Ellicott City woman has died after she was shot last week, and Howard County police say they expect charges filed against her daughter to be upgraded.
A news release from police said Andrea Ruth Haugh, 55, of Ellicott City, was visiting her daughter’s home in the 2900 block of Bethany Lane in Ellicott City when she was shot last Thursday. When officers arrived at the home, they found Haugh with multiple gunshot wounds. Myers was found at the scene and taken into custody, police said.
According to police, Haugh was taken to University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in critical condition and died days later, although police didn’t say exactly when she died.
Two children who were also at the home were unharmed and were taken to Johns Hopkins Children’s Center as a precaution, police said.
Police initially charged Haugh’s daughter, Samantha Marie Myers, 32, with attempted first-degree murder, assault and firearms violations. A subsequent news release on Tuesday said police expect to upgrade the charges against Myers, who is being held without bond. It’s not known if she has an attorney.
