A 24-year-old Army specialist in Maryland was shot dead next to her five-month-old daughter.

Karlyn Serane Ramirez, who was stationed at Fort Meade, was found dead at her house in nearby Severn just before 8am Tuesday morning.

The mother had multiple gunshot wounds while the child next to her appeared unharmed and in good health, according to police.

After an autopsy, the medical examiner's office has ruled the death a homicide.

Anne Arundel County police say that Ramirez's husband is being 'accessible' and 'answering questions,' according to the Baltimore Sun.

Authorities do not yet have a suspect in the case.

A neighbor of the soldier saw that dogs were loose from her yard, and then called police after finding no one inside the house when she returned them through an opened sliding door.

'Now the baby doesn't have anybody to grow up with. This is just sad,' neighbor Matthew Cohen said.

Ramirez had previously served in South Korea before returning to the United States.

Police do not know whether Ramirez knew her attacker or if it was random, according to WBAL.
