Police Search for Ex-Boyfriend in Killing of Jada Sellers

Federal agents have joined the search for the 18-year-old accused of killing Baltimore teen Jada Sellers after she was shot in July.

Authorities are searching for an 18-year-old man accused of killing 17-year-old Jada Sellers, a Milford Mill Academy student who died nearly two weeks after being shot n Southwest Baltimore.

Fox45 reporter Alex Ashwell first detailed Thursday’s announcement identifying Christian Hursey as the suspect wanted in connection with Sellers’ death. Police have obtained a warrant charging Hursey with first-degree murder, and federal agents are now assisting with efforts to locate him.

Sellers was shot after midnight on July 31 outside a home in the 700 block of Lyndhurst Street. Baltimore Police officers responding to the scene found the teenager suffering from life-threatening gunshot wounds. She was transported to Shock Trauma, where she remained hospitalized until she died on August 12.

Family members told local media that Sellers and Hursey had previously been in a relationship. Police have not publicly detailed what they believe led to the shooting.

Sellers was preparing to enter her senior year at Milford Mill Academy. Her family described her as outgoing, accomplished and someone who easily brought people together.

The search for Hursey has now expanded beyond Baltimore. According to Ashwell’s latest coverage, the U.S. Marshals Service and FBI are assisting Baltimore Police, while a combined $11,500 reward is being offered for information leading to his arrest. Authorities believe he may have ties to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Police are asking anyone who knows Hursey’s location not to approach him and instead contact law enforcement.

As Sellers’ family mourns a teenager whose senior year should have been beginning, investigators are now focused on finding the man they believe is responsible for ending her life.
