Washington’s body was found in a ditch Tuesday. A coroner said she died from a gunshot wound to her head.
Police arrested Marks on June 9 after Washington’s 3-year-old daughter was found alone near her mother’s car.
Marks is an assistant principal at Brookstown Magnet Honors Academy, where Washington worked as an instructional specialist.
A co-worker told police Washington was pregnant with Marks’ child and had threatened to tell his wife about their affair.
