Lululemon killing suspect, Brittany Norwood, in court

Criminal Law

A court hearing is set for a woman charged with killing a coworker at an upscale yoga clothing shop in Bethesda.

Brittany Norwood’s court hearing is set for 9 a.m. Friday in Montgomery County.

Norwood is charged in the March murder of Jayna Murray, a coworker at the Lululemon Athletica shop. Police say Norwood killed Murray during a dispute after Murray found suspected stolen merchandise in Norwood’s bag. Police say Norwood tried to conceal the homicide by tying herself up and blaming the attack on two masked men who she said entered the store after it closed.

Attorneys are expected to discuss future court dates and the sharing of information, known as discovery.
