A man charged with murdering his girlfriend in Essex was also charged in a second killing in Baltimore City, police said.

Baltimore County police said Terrence L. Jenkins, 49, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Shelly Fillion, who was found Monday at her house on Skipjack Court in Essex.

Police said Fillion had suffered traumatic injuries. Police on Monday did not specify a motive, but quickly identified a suspect in the case.

A break in the case came Thursday when police received a tip that someone saw Jenkins making a phone call from a house in the 3600 block of Pulaski Highway in east Baltimore.

County police set up surveillance across the street at a motel, and while doing so, officers watched Jenkins walk up to a house, where a woman let him in.

“We did not know what his connection was to that house, if anything. We suspected that perhaps someone was harboring him there,” Baltimore County police spokeswoman Elise Armacost said.

Police waited for Jenkins to exit, and when he did, they gave chase.

Inside the house, police found the woman who let Jenkins inside dead. City police announced Friday evening that Jenkins was charged with murder.

City police said county police found the victim after they obtained a search and seizure warrant for the location. Evidence at the scene included obvious signs of trauma, leading investigators to believe the case is a homicide, police said.

The cause and manner of death needs to be determined by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, city police said.

Baltimore County police said they had no proof that the woman was in any sort of danger.

“There was no sign of him forcing his way into this home, no sounds of distress coming from the home, so our practice is almost always to try to apprehend someone out in the open rather than to go inside. It’s a danger for our officers and for who is inside that home,” Armacost said.
