WASHINGTON — The identity of the woman found dead inside a home in Severn, Maryland has been released.
The body of Karlyn Serane Ramirez, 24, was discovered Tuesday morning.
Police initially responded to a call at around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning, reporting an unsecured residence on the 8000 block of Millstone Court.
