Teen Accused of Murder at 13 | Savannah News

A teen accused of murder at age 13 is now facing adult charges — but here’s the twist: he’s only 16 now, and the crime happened when he was just a kid. Laquian Dawson, already in juvenile detention, is charged with killing 17-year-old Terrell Harris in 2023 — a case that went cold for two and a half years before prosecutors moved. He’s also a person of interest in another unsolved murder from a year earlier, where the victim was 12-year-old Desaray Gilliard — a case that could’ve been handled through juvenile court under Georgia law. Dawson pleaded not guilty and is seeking a jury trial as his Harris case heads to Superior Court with a November trial date looming.
