BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Baltimore City Police say a 16-year-old turned himself in to police just after 12:30 a.m. on February 23, 2022, in connection with the killing of Cheryl McCormack.
 

She was killed in northeast Baltimore just after 2 a.m. Monday, January 24. McCormack was shot and killed after refusing to give items to people attempting to rob her last month.
 

At the time, McCormack was with a friend and working for an app-based food delivery service when their car ran out of gas in the 3900 block of White Avenue on their way to drop off an order.
 

While walking back to a gas station to get fuel for the vehicle, McCormack’s friend was approached by two people. One suspect had a gun and both suspects attempted to rob him, then demanded he return to the car with them. Upon arriving, the suspects demanded McCormack exit the vehicle and give them her valuables. When she refused to hand over items, the suspects shot her and fled.
 

Fox 45 knows the identity of the 16-year-old suspect, but not releasing his name.
 

But we've learned, he's listed as a 9th grader at the Reach! Partnership School on Harford Road.
 

According to our school sources, the teen last attended Reach school just over a week ago, February 14, when we're told he was involved in an incident with a teacher that involved a vulgar comment.
 

Reach is another one of Baltimore city's failing schools.
 

According to the Maryland State Department of Education, Reach, has 695 students. Ninety-nine percent of those students in school are not proficient in math and 98-percent of students in school are not proficient in English.
 

"My initial reaction (to those dismal numbers) is I am unsurprised," said Sean Kennedy, who's a researcher for the Maryland Public Policy Institute. Kennedy is weighing in on yet another Baltimore school student connected to yet another violent crime.
 

"This teenager is completely responsible for his actions, but it's unsurprising that another product of the schools would have never received any consequences for prior bad acts is now out there accelerating his behavior and escalating it toward utterly terrible violence," said Kennedy. "That being said, 99% of the kids at Baltimore's even failing schools do not commit violence, never do anything like this," he added.
 

According to charging documents, there was another person with the 16-year-old suspect at the time of the shooting. But there's no word on the arrest of that person. Police say the investigation is on-going.
