The teens directed Price to Hazelwood Central High School, believing it to be a secluded location. During the robbery, Price was shot and killed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Dunkel stated in court that Harris “took the lead in planning” the robbery, which ultimately led to the tragic outcome. All four teenagers involved in the incident have pleaded guilty and have been sentenced.
