Second Death From White Marsh Burning May Net New Charge: Police

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — An Edgewood man will be charged with murder after a second person has died as the result of a fight that occurred nearly two years ago, police said.

Christopher Harrison Jr., 29, of the 900 block of Topview Drive in Edgewood, was sentenced to 25 years in jail for first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Police said two men encountered Harrison on US 40 at Allender Road in White Marsh, where they were returning to their car after running out of gas before 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, 2015.

Harrison had been in an ongoing dispute with his one of the victims, who was a coworker, officials said.

David Benjamin Campbell, 22, of Middle River, punched Harrison when an altercation broke out, according to police. In response, Harrison doused Campbell with gasoline and lit him on fire, according to police.

Campbell died in January, and following a ruling of death by homicide from the medical examiner, police said a first-degree murder charge was added one week ago. Harrison is scheduled for a hearing for that charge on June 9, court records show.

Shawn Michael Scarinzi, 25, of the 900 block of Topview Drive in Edgewood, died Monday morning, according to police.

The results of an autopsy performed on Scarinzi are pending.
