Baltimore, Maryland
Baltimore County officer Amy Caprio, 30, died earlier this month while responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle. She had been with the force for nearly four years. Rest in peace.
Her funeral last Friday was attended by more than a thousand, including one hundred fellow officers. Caprio was the first female officer killed in the line of duty in Baltimore.
Police accused 16-year-old Dawnta Harris (^ left) of running over her in a stolen Jeep.
The state was formally supervising Harris, who was wearing an ankle bracelet pending sentencing for auto theft when he was arrested in Caprio's death. On May 22, Harris was ordered held without bail by a judge who called him a "one-man crime wave."
Also facing murder charges are his three alleged accomplices, all teens, pictured above. They were allegedly committing a burglary when Caprio was run down.
In Maryland, if someone is killed during a burglary, accomplices can be found guilty of murder along with the killer.
