Husband accused of fatally stabbing wife outside Baltimore hospital where she worked

Baltimore City, MD (WBFF) — What began as a routine drive to work ended in tragedy for a Baltimore hospital employee who police say was stabbed to death by her husband just steps from where she worked.

Newly obtained charging documents reveal the evidence investigators say links 37-year-old Marquis Johnson to the murder of his wife, 36-year-old Tiera Gamble, outside MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital in Northeast Baltimore.

Gamble, an executive assistant to the hospital’s Director of Psychological Care, was arriving for work around 8 a.m. Friday when she was attacked in the hospital’s parking garage.

According to charging documents, Gamble’s family told investigators her husband drove her to work every morning. But on Friday, she never made it inside the building.

Witnesses reportedly saw Gamble fall from the driver’s seat of her car in the hospital’s parking garage before a man climbed out of the passenger seat, got behind the wheel and drove away. Gamble had suffered multiple stab wounds and despite efforts to save her life, she was pronounced dead shortly after the attack.

Investigators say Johnson left behind several pieces of evidence that ultimately led to his arrest.

Charging documents say police recovered Johnson’s cellphone in a neighborhood nearby with what appeared to be blood on it. Investigators also observed suspicious injuries to both of his hands, which they believed were “sustained during a stabbing.”

A search of the couple’s home later uncovered a kitchen knife set that investigators say matched the knife recovered from Gamble’s body. Police also say Johnson was wearing the same blue shoes seen on the suspect in surveillance footage from the hospital.

Johnson is now charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond.
