Annapolis Woman Charged in Two 2024 Murders

Monet Felicia Thompson, a 49-year-old Annapolis resident already in custody for a homicide at a Safeway parking lot involving her counselor, has been charged with a second murder from September 2024. She is accused of killing John Logan Thomas III, who was found shot in the back of the head in his apartment on Georgetown Road after witnesses reported gunshots and saw a man and woman fleeing the scene in a blue SUV. Evidence from the Safeway case helped police connect Thompson to the earlier killing, leading to first- and second-degree murder charges in both cases. Police Chief Edward Jackson emphasized the department's commitment to community safety and justice, noting that these arrests bring Annapolis closer to being a safer city. Investigators praised the extensive work of detectives in linking Thompson to both crimes. Thompson's arrest highlights a concerning pattern of violence and ongoing police efforts to address homicide cases in the area.
