Teen charged with mother’s death
A 16-year-old in Baltimore County has charged with the first-degree murder of his mother.
Lewin Carlton Powell III was arrested and charged as an adult last night with killing Donna Rosemarie Campbell-Powell, 39, an employee of the county Office of Budget and Finance, according to Baltimore County court documents. Powell was also charged with the attempted murder of his father, who goes by the same name.
Police said Campbell-Powell apparently died of blunt force trauma after she was hit multiple times with a baseball bat. Bill Toohey, a police spokesman, said the boy and his mother argued over his performance in school shortly after he arrived home Tuesday afternoon.
