Federal agents, specifically the U.S. Marshals Service, have joined the ongoing manhunt for Christian Hursey, an 18-year-old man wanted in connection with the murder of 17-year-old Jada Sellers. The incident occurred on July 31, 2026, at approximately 12:15 a.m. outside a residence located at 709 Lyndhurst Avenue in southwest Baltimore. According to court documents and police reports, responding officers discovered Sellers suffering from gunshot wounds to the throat and abdomen inside the home. She was transported to Shock Trauma in critical condition but succumbed to her injuries two weeks later on August 12, 2026. Investigators state that private surveillance footage captured the fatal shooting, showing Sellers speaking with a man on the front porch before a male suspect, identified as Hursey, began firing at her as she attempted to exit through a gate. Witness statements and associates of the victim further corroborated Hursey’s identity as the shooter and revealed that he was Sellers’ ex-boyfriend, with the couple having recently ended their relationship following a domestic incident. The Baltimore Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Hursey, who is considered armed and dangerous. Al Maresca, a Senior Inspector with the U.S. Marshals Service, emphasized the potential threat Hursey poses to public safety and urged the community to assist in locating the fugitive. A reward of $11,500 is currently offered for information leading to Hursey’s arrest. The family of Jada Sellers, who was a student athlete and honors student at Milford Mill Academy, expressed gratitude that an arrest warrant has been issued and hope for increased resources to bring the suspect and any accomplices to justice. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Baltimore Police Department, Metro Crime Stoppers, or the U.S. Marshals Service at 202-819-5058.
