Husband Charged in Fatal Stabbing of Good Samaritan Hospital Employee Tiera Gamble

Baltimore City police have arrested a 37-year-old man in the fatal stabbing of a Good Samaritan Hospital employee, charging him with first-degree murder in a killing that authorities say unfolded in the hospital's own parking garage.

Marquis Johnson was taken into custody in connection with the death of Tiera Gamble, his wife, according to police. Family members told investigators that Johnson drove Gamble to work every morning.

Officers were called to the lower level of the hospital parking garage around 9 a.m. on Nov. 6, where they found Gamble suffering from stab wounds. Medics responded, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

A witness told police they saw the victim fall out of the driver's side of a 2019 Honda Insight, then watched a man get out of the passenger side, move into the driver's seat and drive away.

The investigation led police the following day to the 2200 block of Presstman Street, at a residence Gamble and Johnson shared. Officers were responding to a panic or distress alarm when they encountered several members of Gamble's family, who said Johnson was inside the home without permission and told police they believed he was responsible for her death.

According to police, officers noticed visible injuries on both of Johnson's hands that could have been inflicted during a stabbing. He was taken into custody, and investigators executed a search warrant at the home.

Inside, detectives found a kitchen knife set that matched the description of a large kitchen knife recovered from the victim, police said. Investigators also matched a pair of blue tennis shoes Johnson had worn that appeared in surveillance footage of the incident.

The case remains under investigation. No additional details about a court date or attorney for Johnson were immediately available.
