In many States the juvenile court can keep jurisdiction over you until 21. You go back to juvenile court.

You would be tried as a juvenile, but it is still a criminal defense. Consult with a criminal defense attorney at once. Especially look for ones that defends juvenile crimes.

The warrant will still be good because the event occurred while you were 17.

The warrant will stay in effect. You need to turn yourself in.
