17 Year Old Who Raped And Murder His 83 Year Old Neighbor When He Was Only 14 Years Old Is Convicted In Baltimore

A Baltimore teen has been convicted of raping and murdering his 83-year-old neighbor when he was just 14 years old, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Tyrone Harvin, now 17, was convicted by a jury of first-degree murder, first-degree rape and weapons offenses in the August 2018 attack that left Dorothy Mae Neal unresponsive in her apartment. She later died at a hospital from her injuries during the brutal assault, prosecutors said.

Neighbors contacted Baltimore cops after not seeing Neal for a few days and responding officers found dried blood on the outside of her door. She was found unresponsive and nude on the floor, Mosby said.

Investigators also found bloody clothing, several condom wrappers, as well as used condoms, and a broken lamp with blood on it, which prosecutors said was the murder weapon.

Fingerprints on the condom wrappers belonged to Tyrone Harvin and DNA testing revealed a partial profile consistent with the 14-year-old boy. The lamp also had Neal’s blood on it, Mosby said.

Harvin faces up to life in prison plus three years when he’s sentenced in January, said Mosby, who added there was “no winner” in the case.
