Virginia State Police say a 12-year-old boy's suicide attempt has left 22-year-old Marisa Harris dead after the boy jumped off an overpass on I-66 and landed on her car. The boy is now in the hospital with life-threatening injuries, according to officials.


FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. (ABC7) — Marisa Harris was going places.

Her dad tells us she was a graduate student at Marymount University in Arlington, studying clinical counseling.

The 22-year-old was driving a Ford Escape, her dad says, with her boyfriend in the front seat, when Virginia State Police say a 12-year-old boy jumped off of an I-66 overpass and hit her.

“That’s terrible, especially that a 12-year-old would do something like that,” said Lauren Hummell, who is familiar with the overpass.
