BEL AIR, Md. — The jury in the Joppatowne High School shooting trial reached a verdict Thursday.
Jaylen Prince, 16, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Warren Grant, 15, in a school bathroom on Sept. 6, 2024. The jury also found Prince guilty on firearms charges.
After closing arguments Thursday, the jury began deliberating shortly after 2 p.m. on nine criminal counts. There were three new charges added since his arrest in September. The new charges are gun offenses, including having a handgun on public school property.
The jury reached a verdict after a little more than three hours of deliberation by the time it was announced around 5:15 p.m. that a verdict had been reached.
