Great Mills resident Cherron Montril Waul was convicted on Wednesday of first-degree murder following a three-day trial for the brutal slaying of a 33-year-old man in February 2022.
According to prosecutors, Waul lured his victim to a secluded place not far from the school, where he stabbed him more than a dozen times.
“This horrific attack was pre-meditated and calculated,” State's Attorney Jaymi Sterling said on Wednesday.
“(Waul) lured the victim from his home to a secluded area near Great Mills High School, where he unsparingly stabbed the victim 19 times and ultimately killed him.”
When he is sentenced in June, prosecutors say that Waul will face a maximum sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder.
