Teen Charged 85 Years for Morgan State Shooting | Washington DC News

Seventeen-year-old Marquis Brown just received an 85-year sentence for his role in a deadly mass shooting at Morgan State University’s homecoming last October, which left five people injured amid chaos sparked by a rivalry between groups. Brown and another teen opened fire, hitting victims by accident — not their intended targets — as the event turned from celebration to terror, shutting down campus and canceling key events. Prosecutors called his actions “a staggering disregard” for human life, while authorities continue investigating potential accomplices. The tragedy underscores how fast violence can erupt and the lasting scars it leaves on a community and families.
