The teen charged in the fatal shooting of 15-year-old Warren Grant at Joppatowne High School is set to stand trial next week.

Jaylen Prince, 16, is charged as an adult with murder, first- and second-degree assault and the use of a firearm in the commission of a felony/crime of violence. The Harford County State’s Attorney’s Office said Wednesday after Prince’s pretrial hearing that jury selection is scheduled to begin May 20.

If a jury is selected Tuesday, the trial will begin the following day on May 21.

Prince’s charges stem from a shooting that occurred in a bathroom at Joppatowne High School less than a week into the school year. Police said that during the fight, they believe Prince pulled out a handgun and shot Grant.

After being dragged out of the bathroom by fellow students, Grant was airlifted to Johns Hopkins Bayview Hospital, where he later died.

Prince allegedly left the school, prompting a search by police. According to police, a nearby resident contacted law enforcement to report a suspicious person attempting to “break into a house,” which led to Prince’s arrest.

Prince’s case information, charges and legal representation are not available on online court records because he is a minor.
