A Baltimore County police cruiser struck and killed someone who jumped out of a stolen car near Pimlico Sunday evening, according to a spokesman. It’s at least the second death following a Baltimore County police chase in two months.

The deceased — police said he may be a juvenile, though they declined to release his exact age or name — had been inside a car that was stolen from a pizza delivery man in Baltimore County earlier in the day, according to Cpl. Shawn Vinson, spokesman for the department.

Vinson said three men had stolen the pizza delivery man’s car, a Ford Fiesta, Sunday afternoon on Merle Drive in Windsor Mill. An officer spotted the stolen car on Liberty Road and chased it to Northern Parkway. On the way, the occupants of the Fiesta threw a handgun out of the window, which police say they later recovered.
