Girlfriend kills boyfriend by mowing him down with her car, police say

A woman has been arrested and charged with her boyfriend’s death after police said she intentionally mowed him down with her car.

The incident took place on Saturday, August 20, when Prince George’s County Police responded at approximately 8:45 p.m. to a call about a person trapped under a vehicle outside a home in Brandywine, Maryland — about 22 miles southeast of Washington, D.C.

But when police arrived, they found the victim — later named 40-year-old Shamatto Clark of Riverdale, Maryland — dead at the scene after allegedly being deliberately run over by his girlfriend, 38-year-old Udele Burno of Brandywine. Maryland, police say.

“The preliminary investigation suggests Burno deliberately hit the victim with her car, causing her fatal injuries,” Prince George’s County said in a blog post announcing the incident on Thursday.

Police have not disclosed a possible motive for the murder or whether any of the individuals involved were previously known to authorities.

Burno has since been charged with vehicular manslaughter and is currently in the custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status. It is unclear whether Burno has obtained legal representation at this time.

Anyone with information relevant to this investigation is requested to call Prince George’s County Detectives at 301-516-2512.
