On Friday, September 6, 2024, 15-year-old Warren Curtis Grant, a Black student at Joppatowne High School in Joppa, Maryland, was fatally shot following a confrontation in a school bathroom. The dispute reportedly began over an argument about a girl. A fellow student, 16-year-old Jaylen Prince, produced a 9mm ghost gun he had carried to school in his backpack and fired one shot that struck Grant in the stomach.

School nurses provided immediate aid and Grant was airlifted to a trauma center, but he later died of his injuries. The shooting was partially recorded on video by another student; Prince fled the school but was located and taken into custody after residents in a nearby neighborhood reported seeing him. Investigators described the incident as isolated rather than an active shooter situation and recovered ammunition at Prince’s home, though the weapon itself was not found.

Grant was remembered as charismatic, with a warm smile and interests in video games, basketball, and football. Does anyone have information about the events in that restroom or witnessed the moments before the confrontation?
