22-year-old arrested in Essex double homicide that killed 2 19-year-olds

A 22-year-old man was arrested in connection with the double homicide that killed two 19-year-olds on Aug. 10 in Essex, Maryland, according to Baltimore County police.

Police said the suspect's identity and charges will be released after he appears before a court commissioner.

Police responded around 11:30 a.m. to Banyan Woods Court, where Izick Aminartey and Donielle Mack were found shot inside a vehicle.

Aminartey died at the scene. Mack was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Aminartey's mother told CBS News Baltimore that police called her Monday morning to inform her of the arrest. She said the suspect turned himself in with a family member.

"I'm just glad that he did do the right thing and I can have some face to put to this madness," she said.

Aminartey's mother said she plans to attend the suspect's court hearing.

"I will be coming to court because I would like to speak with him face to face," she said.

Earlier this month, CBS News Baltimore spoke with Aminartey's mother, who shared memories of her son and the pain of losing him.

"I love my son," his mother said. "I love him with everything in me and just need him. I just want him. I know I can't have him back, but I just want him back. He's my everything."

Another Essex shooting

About 30 minutes later that same day, 17-year-old Roman Wright was shot and killed inside a vehicle about a mile away in Essex.

Police said a 15-year-old was arrested shortly after the shooting, while 17-year-old Messiah Edwards was taken into custody the following day after a standoff in Middle River. Both teens are facing charges as adults.

Charging documents revealed that the teens were allegedly plotting to rob Wright.

CBS News Baltimore obtained video showing the aftermath of the fatal shooting.
