On August 20 at 11:50am, Prince George’s County police officers assigned to the District 6 (Laurel/Beltsville) station were dispatched to the Shell gas station at 6600 Sandy Spring Road in Laurel for an attempted theft from an automobile that had just occurred. Two suspects in a gray Acura with a temporary license plate unsuccessfully tried to open the car doors of a customer’s car before fleeing from the gas station.
As responding police officers were on the scene interviewing witnesses and gathering evidence, a gas station employee noticed the suspect vehicle as it returned to the gas station. The on-scene police officers were alerted, and they returned to their police car and drove after the suspect vehicle.
The police officers, riding together as a two-person patrol car, caught up with the suspect vehicle on I-95 southbound and communicated their observations to the dispatcher. The police car left the roadway during this apparent pursuit and crashed into a nearby ditch.
Police Officer Adrian Morris, a two and one-half year veteran, was ejected from the vehicle during the crash and was pronounced dead a short time later at a local hospital. The passenger police officer, on the agency for one year, was released from the hospital after being treated for minor injuries.
