A Baltimore teenager was convicted of felony murder Wednesday, about a year after he accelerated a stolen Jeep and hit a Maryland police officer, killing her on a suburban cul-de-sac
1 / 2FILE - This May 2018 file photo provided by the Baltimore County Police and Fire Department shows Dawnta Harris. Baltimore teenager Dawnta Harris has been convicted of felony murder after fatally striking Baltimore County Police officer first class Amy Caprio with a stolen Jeep. Jurors in suburban Baltimore County handed down the verdict Wednesday, May 1, 2019. Harris, who’s 17 but was tried as an adult, faces life in prison.
Last week, jurors watched Caprio's searing body-worn camera footage. She could be heard repeatedly ordering Harris out of the car before the 29-year-old law enforcer drew her pistol and screaming"Stop! Stop!" Harris ducked his head, hit the gas and the Jeep slammed into her. She fired once, the bullet shattering the windshield. Harris ditched the stolen car a few blocks away.
Harris was also found guilty of burglary, a necessary step before jurors could even consider the felony murder charge. Sentencing is set for July. A slightly-built ninth-grader at the time of the slaying, Harris had been deemed a high risk by Maryland's juvenile services department. He had a string of arrests for auto theft, and had skipped out of juvenile custody repeatedly. His own mother had asked officials to detain him, hoping to avoid any more trouble.
