(Perryville, MD) – Maryland State Police homicide investigators have charged a man with the murder of a Cecil County woman that occurred late last night at a motel in Perryville.
The accused is identified as Krsna (sic) D. Johnson, 25, of no fixed address. After consultation with the Cecil County State’s Attorney’s Office, Johnson is being charged at this time with first and second degree murder and the use of a handgun in the commission of a felony. Additional charges are possible. He will be taken to the Cecil County Detention Center to await his initial appearance before a court commissioner.
The victim is identified as Kimberly N. Cain, 22, of the 5200-block of Pulaski Highway, Perryville, Md. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Shortly after 11:00 p.m. yesterday, a Perryville Police Department officer was dispatched to the Relax Inn, in the 5200-block of Pulaski Highway, for a report of suspicious persons at room 35 of the motel. While the officer was on his way, the call was changed to an assault in progress.
When he arrived at the motel, the officer saw a person, later identified as Cain, lying on the ground in front of room 35. A male and female standing near the victim both went into the motel room and shut the door. The officer called for assistance and units from the Maryland State Police, Cecil County Sheriff’s Office, and the Maryland Transportation Authority Police responded. A standoff occurred and police called for the Maryland State Police Special Tactical Assault Team Element (STATE Team).
About 45 minutes later, just as the STATE Team arrived, the female, identified as Kathi B. Stewart, came out of the room. Police saw the male, later identified as the accused, inside the room and took him into custody without further incident. Stewart was later released without charges.
Perryville Police Chief Daly requested that the Maryland State Police Homicide Unit conduct the investigation. The preliminary investigation revealed Cain and her boyfriend lease room 35 at the Relax Inn. Kathi Stewart apparently resides there with them.
During the day yesterday, Stewart had been visited by her boyfriend, Johnson, and they spent much of the time arguing. Sometime between 10:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. yesterday, Stewart asked Johnson to leave. Johnson allegedly returned a short time later with a handgun.
The victim, Cain, and her boyfriend returned to the room moments later. Cain is said to have been concerned and upset that Johnson had a gun. Her boyfriend and another man left to call 9-1-1.
The victim walked outside the room, to apparently call 9-1-1 also. Stewart told police she heard one gunshot and saw Cain lying on the ground with Johnson standing over her.
During the early morning hours today, investigators obtained a search warrant for the motel room crime scene. Police recovered a semi-automatic handgun with an obliterated serial number inside the doorway to the room. The gun has been forwarded to the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Laboratory for ballistics examinations. Other scene processing was conducted by crime scene technicians from the State Police Forensic Sciences Division.
Criminal investigators from the State Police, the Perryville Police Department, and the Cecil County Bureau of Investigation assisted with this investigation. The investigation is continuing.

Richie C look now i am on the other side of the spectrum cause of a mistake a 19 year old did he lost his life but now we are going to spend our tax dollars to house this animal and yes i am can do the name calling in this situation cause over 4 years ago i was the victim that mr. johnson beat hanestly to point i almost lost my life twice and because of the system falling us they released him with no real time and no rehablitation due to mr.johnson was declared crazy by the jail system and i know for a fact due to a couple meetings i had with mr.johnson after his release due to i needed to get somethings off of my chest which i found theriputic for my self the state would not place him in a half way house and he could not get medical aid due to he was over the age of twenty one with no children residing with him so due to the state declaring him crazy they should of gave him medical to get his percriptions but who is to tell if he would of even taken them….. but i just do not see where it is far at all…. they need to really think about and take actions on repeat offenders that lead to such extreme crimes.. i do not believe a eye for a eye but he almost killed me and kill another why should we have to pay for his three hots and a cot…..

Where will Justice be in this situation…
Brian says
Am I understanding this correctly?
You are related, in some fashion, to both the accused Perryville murderer AND the man who, three days earlier, stole the car and killed himself when he crashed it in Edgewood?
That’s either an amazingly eerie coincidence or something else…
Angelique says
Yes the 19 year old was a relative and Mr.Johnson that crazy bastard was my ex husband who put me thru years of abuse and hell and should of stayed locked away!!!!! Not to mention the gentleman in HavreDeGrace was a old best friend of mine this has just been a awful week followed by a last two months of hell on me with my own personal health and issues i do not know how much i can take but one thing with me what ever trys to bring me down makes me stronger i do not give up or in I give above and beyond to make it better…..
Steve says
wow, you don’t know Glenn Raynor by any chance, do you?
SHWUN MILLER says
I’m Krsna’s aunt n Angelique u talkin like u so mad but when kris n u were fightin n he went to jail u was still there for him dont get all high n mighty now, n yes he does have issues but for u to lie to these people he was not ur husband yall was 2gether for about 15mo n u was n luv so u stayed with hm im glad to hv opened ur eyes now but im not about to let u talk about my nephew like hes an animal. yes he do hv issues n he needs some help but u need to know the whole damn story before u open ur mouth. im not saying wat he did was right but the state should of put him on meds so blame the alliance program that i called lots of times to get him some help n they kept giving him the run around.
SHWUN MILLER says
n u married him to get hm out of jail tell that too
Angelique says
First of all I still love Krsna it is weird but a part of me always will… yes i was torn thru the whole situation and i am still… i have been and always will be the type of person that feels like everyone deserves a second chance and it is awful what happened to the woman but i hate to always look like i am pointing blame on other place then where they should be at but it is just me trying to help you see the other light……The state has to really do things differently in the judicial system…. Cause krsna yes was in trouble in the past came home and commited another crime but Krsna had a trying upbringing and past and during his last incarseration things on his family background as to health came out and we were able in the jail have him evaluated…. He was released and when tried to go to some type of housing no longer qualified cause he was not in a program…. went to social security with his paperwork and could not get disability cause he had to get a finding from alliance….. Could not go to alliance due to low funds and no insurance…. so he went to social services and they could not help him since he was not disabled by social security or a reg. doctor over seeing him, was not under the age of 21 years old, and did not have a child living with him or in his care more than 15 days out of the month…..so yes he had alot of issues but no help to deal with them….. so who is wrong in this situation YES he is cause he commited the crime but dont you think with help and meds and some more rehabilitation it may have been devirted….. And shwun come on even thou what he did to me was unreal…and when i refered him as a animal i place that onthe wrong site there is another and that is how they refered to him so i just was saying it as a smart ass back but i wrote it and copied it and pasted it to the wrong page….. if you talk to krsna ask him who was trying to help him out have left messages with every single mens home also found another medical program to help out with percriptions matter of fact yesterday got his application…. and he was and has been sincere to me even thou we had alittle ups and downs due to difference of views and we was trying to work out our differences i am just confused as to what the hell the person did to piss him off so much cause he was learning to control it and was trying to avoid situations that would make him mad since he was not on his meds…..And yes i was with him for awhile and yes i stood by him when he was locked up and yes i tried to help him out when we met up when he got home cause he was a male who needed help to try to live on with his life….we have a bond and even thou i live with nightmares and pain everyday from what he did to me he is still a human being who deserves the fullest from life… but placing him in jail is not the proper thing to do in this situation he needs to go to a hospital and get the help and rehablitaion he deserves as a person of this society…. I wish the best for you and your family going thru this tryin time with Krsna yest again…
RichieC says
Holy lottery…trifecta…perfect storm…mass production…monopoly…batman!
Angelique says
RichieC are you okay???
RichieC says
The odds of you being connected to both are very low….
Go Dagger !
Phil Dirt says
Once again, like the carjacker and the rapist, some want the perpetrator to be treated as a victim. They get no sympathy from me.
Angelique says
I know it is a wired connection…. to much is happening at one day starting to have me wonder and test my faith as to why do things happen just as i said before Mr. Fischer the one who was found died in Havredegrace was a old friend as well
RichieC says
angilique…you need new friends !
Angelique says
i do not feel like i need new friends they just need better judgement for themselves but i guess i just like to befriend the ones in need i like to try to make a difference in life so things can change in society so my child can live in a better place but i know that is far fetched but every bit can make a difference
SHWUN says
Ijust wanted everyone to kno his fam history, but I feel like he needs long term help. Its not his fault he has went dwn the same path as his mother. when I got krsna from germany he was already acting out, but once again the state would not help. But not only is my fam. suffering her fam is also they lost a child a mother its sad and maybe it could of been avoided maybe not. but im coming back to md to make sure he gets some help. Iunderstand you are mad and hurt and I kno u still love him. ppl are gonna say lots a bad things about him but we kno what hes been thru .It will never excuse the crime tho. angel u can email me. now 3 kids r gonna grow up without a mom and a dad
SHWUN says
He is a victim, his mother went to jail for murder when he was 10yrs old his father kidnap him n his bro n sisters n took them to germany, where they was abused and treated like hell,untill my husband and myself took them. by the time we started seeing that all of the kids had mental issues they were to old to get help from the state.But as far as the crime YES IT WAS A BAD CHOICE. we dont want or need sympathy from noone, we need to make sure that kids who come from this type of background get the help they need, And we dont over look things, because it could have been anybodys child!!!
Angelique says
Shwun go to myspace and look up the display name R.I.P Mike Mike and send me a message with your email address so it is not on this web site and i will contact you with my contact info it is good to hear youon here defending him you always had his corner… Love you and miss you all so much….
SHWUN says
Well he needs someone in his corner. And being an Officer its really hard fo me right now. luv yall 2

Sad says

Just one thought …
I personally know the young cousin of this woman who was SENSELESSLY murdered by a man who KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG – regardless of what happened in his past! He is NOT a victim in this case – his is a cold blooded MURDERER!! It really makes me ill that someone can take another’s life and be regarded as a VICTIM!! There has to be a line drawn somewhere, people! If society keeps looking at a person’s past when they commit a crime and saying, “Oh, it’s not their fault, their mother left them, their daddy is a drunk, they had such a rough childhood” there will NEVER be an end to this kind of thing!! THIS MANIS NOT A VICTIM IN ANY SENSE OF THE IMAGINATION!!! The 15 year old cousin of the woman killed, who came to my house the next day torn to pieces, unable to understand why someone would do this to her is a living victim – SHE is the victim whose children are now left without a mother!! Get it right, people! STOP defending the actions of people who choose to take the life of another person!!
SHWUN says
I never said he was a victim in this case, I said if he was not a victim as a child maybe this crime would not have happen. as far as grammar you are worried about the wrong thing. Dont get it twisted MURDER is wrong!!!!! There is allways another way to handle any situation.
Angelique says
Yes he committed a crime that was wrong and my prayers and thoughts go out to the grieving family cause at this point i am grieving the loss of a aloved one due to a tradegy …. i am not saying what he is a victim either but there is alot involved and when i was questioned to day today by the homicide department even the officer felt like Krsna fell thru the cracks as to what the system was suppose to do as far as his medical conditions…. but there is two familys and children on both sides that are missing a parent due to a act that could of been advoided…. But my husband has and has had mental disorders that the state of maryland is aware of and diganoisted and they did nothing to assist the continuing medication and treatment after his release…..
RichieC says
Angilique…x husband….
Go Dagger !
Angelique says
it does not matter does it….
RichieC says
shwun…well said…and always clarify if you feel your being twisted or not understood…
Go Dagger !
