WASHINGTON — Two cold cases that grabbed the attention of locals are again at the forefront of Anne Arundel County investigators’ minds: The mother of twins found stabbed in her basement and a college football star shot doing what he does best — diving in front of danger.
It was New Year’s Day 2018 when Lawrence “Larry” Aaron, 19, was shot by a stray bullet at a party in Severn, Maryland.
Police believe he may have been trying to shield his girlfriend when he heard the gunfire. But in doing so, a bullet pierced his back, paralyzing the Marshall University defensive tackle who died from complications seven weeks later.
