Mariam Folashade Adebayo was a charming dark and lovely young girl with a bright future. Two years ago, she graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Public Health. After her graduation, she began to chase the beautiful dreams of a great life ahead of her, living the life of an unblemished normal young beautiful girl in the city.
Mariam met Donald Bricker, a 27-year-old white crook. He charmed Mariam and something in both of them stirred.
Donald had a criminal background. He was a third degree sex offender, convicted in 2009. He hid his past from young, innocent Mariam.
In Maryland, sexual offence in the Third Degree is detailed in the status thus:

sexual contact with another without the consent of the other; and (ii) 1. Employ or display a dangerous weapon, or a physical object that the victim reasonably believes is a dangerous weapon; 2.

(b) A person who violates this section is guilty of the felony of sexual offence in the third degree and on conviction is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years.
Donald Bricker served his prison term and was released into the populace where he met Mariam and they began dating.
It wasn’t immediately clear what went wrong in the relationship. It lasted six months. Mariam decided the relationship wasn’t what she wanted. She stopped seeing
Donald. But Donald had been captivated by her young love.
He became obsessed and stalked Mariam. He wanted her back. He called her several times and pleaded with her to take him back. But Mariam was moving forward with her life. Donald kept up the pressure.
Last week, Donald pleaded with Mariam to meet him at the parking lot of a Germantown Target store. Mariam agreed to meet her ex to resolve any issue from their past relationship after he threatened to kill himself if she didn’t meet to talk
with him. She offered to meet if that would save his life. But Donald came to the meeting with a loaded gun.
Minutes after Mariam arrived at the parking lot; Donald arrived and asked Mariam to join him in his car. She did. Suddenly passersby began to notice a scuffle inside Donald’s vehicle between the two. Mariam then got out of his car and walked away. Donald chased her with his gun and shot her as she walked away from him. He fled the scene as Mariam fell to the floor of the parking lot.
Donald Bricker was ultimately arrested after crashing his vehicle. He is being charged with first degree murder, police
said. Donald Bricker has a criminal history in Maryland and is on the state’s sex offender registry. Mariam Shade Adebayo recently got a new job. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
