The Prince George’s County Police Department’s Homicide Unit in Maryland charged a 43-year-old man with murdering his girlfriend inside of their home on Thursday, according to reports.

Keith Maybin, Jr. has been charged with fatally shooting 43-year-old Courtney Blacksher.

On September 28, 2023, at approximately 4:05 pm, officers responded to an apartment in the 200 block of Harry S Truman Drive in the unincorporated section of Upper Marlboro. The victim was located suffering from gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

At approximately 7:10 pm, the suspect was taken into custody by Seat Pleasant Police officers. Maybin had just threatened two unrelated victims with a gun in the 8600 block of Central Avenue. Those victims were not injured.

The suspect is charged with first and second degree murder, assault and related charges. He is in the custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status.

Blacksher’s family says she was a kind, single mother, who worked hard as a metro bus driver to provide for her sons: One is in his 20s, and the other son is under 10 years old.
