The community of Baltimore County is set to commemorate the courage and sacrifice of Officer Amy Caprio, who was tragically killed in the line of duty in 2018 while engaging a suspicious vehicle in Perry Hall, with the unveiling of a dedicated sign at Honeygo Run Regional Park. According to CBS News Baltimore, Caprio was responding to reports of the vehicle during a traffic stop, which preceded an extensive manhunt that subsequently ensued, bringing a tense atmosphere over the nearby communities and schools as the pursuit for the perpetrators carried on.

Ceremonial plans include the attendance of Baltimore County Police Chief Robert McCullough, County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Maryland State Senator Kathy Klausmeier, and Councilman David Marks, along with Officer Caprio's immediate family. Scheduled for 10 a.m. today, the event marks the second tribute to Caprio, following a commemorative plaque at the park's dog run in 2019, as reported by WMAR-2 News.

Dawnta Harris, Eugene Genius, Derrick Matthews, and Darrell Ward faced indictment for 19 charges connected to Caprio's death, including murder and burglary. They partook in what prosecutors called a crime spree across Perry Hall that tragic day. CBS News Baltimore detailed the tragedy, including the body-camera footage from Caprio's final moments, showing her ordering the then-16-year-old Harris to exit the stolen Jeep before ultimately being struck.

Harris received a life sentence with "I was scared. I didn't know what to do. I put my head down. I didn't look. I pushed the gas," his alarming statement during trial, proving little in sway to the grave reality of the loss incurred, as CBS News Baltimore reported, with the three other teens pleading guilty to felony murder under a plea deal to evade life imprisonment, receiving 30-year sentences with the sign's reveal being a stark reminder of the day's irreversible toll and the continued reverence for Caprio's sacrifice.
