Driver Enters Plea In Child's Death

DISTRICT HEIGHTS, MD — A Prince George's man has pleaded guilty in the vehicular death of 3-year-old Zoey Harrison in March 2025.

Larry Naylor fled from police during a traffic stop on March 7, 2025, in District Heights. Zoey Harrison was in the car with her mother when they were hit on Walker Mill Road by Naylor's vehicle.

Naylor has pleaded guilty to one count of grossly negligent manslaughter by motor vehicle.

“Today’s guilty plea holds this defendant accountable for his actions that led to the tragic death of Zoey, but I know it does not take away the pain her family continues to face,” said State’s Attorney Tara Jackson. “This case is a heartbreaking reminder of the dangerous and irreversible consequences that result from irresponsible decisions behind the wheel. I recognize that nothing can undo this tragedy, but I hope this plea provides a measure of justice and closure to Zoey's family and loved ones.”

Naylor will be sentenced on Oct. 2. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
