WBAL-TV 11's Kate Amara reports Darrell Ward, Derrick Matthews and Eugene Genius all pleaded guilty to felony murder. Under the plea deal, while felony murder carries a mandatory life sentence, prosecutors will ask the judge to suspend all but 30 years.

Officer Amy Caprio was investigating a call for a suspicious vehicle in Perry Hall. She ordered Dawnta Harris to get out of the stolen Jeep. Harris instead charged at her. Caprio, who had been with the department for nearly four years, was taken to an area hospital, where she died. She was 29.

Harris was convicted in May, with a sentencing hearing set for July 23. State's Attorney Scott Shellenberger has said he intends to seek a life sentence for Harris.
