The police officer killed in the line of duty in Perry Hall on Monday afternoon has been identified as 29-year-old Officer Amy Caprio.

All suspects connected to this case have now been arrested.

Officer Caprio was assigned to the Parkville precinct and July would have represented her four-year anniversary with the Baltimore County Police Department.

Officer Caprio was the primary officer responding to a call for a suspicious vehicle with multiple suspicious subjects walking around homes along Linwen Way in Perry Hall/Nottingham (21236) at 1:58 p.m.

A neighbor called 911 adding that the subjects had broken into a home and that a black Jeep Wrangler appeared to be involved.

Officer Caprio arrived in the area, located the black Jeep Wrangler, and followed it to the end of Linwen Way. She exited her vehicle and ordered the driver, identified later as Dawnta Harris, to exit the Jeep. Harris began to exit the Jeep, then got back in and quickly accelerated, driving toward and striking Officer Caprio. Neighbors called 911 reporting that the officer had been struck by a vehicle and may have been shot. One neighbor, a paramedic, ran to the officer’s aid to begin CPR. Emergency personnel responded to the scene to aid Officer Caprio, who was taken to MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center with traumatic injuries. She was pronounced dead at 2:50 p.m. on Monday.

The preliminary autopsy results indicate the cause of death to be homicide by traumatic injuries incurred as a result of being struck by the suspect vehicle. No evidence of a gunshot wound was found.

Governor Larry Hogan on Tuesday released the following statement on the passing of Police Officer First Class Amy Caprio:
