A 16-Year-Old Student Shoots And Kills A Fellow Classmate In Maryland

A 16-year-old student has been charged as an adult for fatally shooting a 15-year-old classmate in a Maryland high school bathroom

Jaylen Rushawn Prince, 16, was caught minutes after the shooting while trying to break into a nearby home to hide

He was already known to law enforcement, but it's unclear if he had a juvenile record

“We’ve had more than 10 incidents since 2022 where the suspect was either the victim, witness or the suspect in Harford County Sheriff’s Office investigations,” officials said

Prince and the victim, Warren Curtis Grant, 15, knew each other, but what happened between them is unclear

Police say Prince fired a single shot in a first-floor boys' bathroom during a fight

Grant was airlifted to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where he later died

He has been charged as an adult with murder, as well as first and second-degree assault and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony/crime of violence
