Investigators say the 14-year-old suspect sped off in a stolen Jeep through a red light, just as class was letting out at Steuart Hill Academy in Southwest Baltimore.  A 14-year-old boy will be charged with vehicular manslaughter for driving the stolen car that fatally struck an 8-year-old Baltimore girl, police said Friday. Kinlaw was taken to Johns Hopkins Pediatrics, where she soon died. The pain is still alive, but it’s not as much as it was since the beginning,” said Leon Carter, father. Still driving, police say the teen slammed into several parked cars before he bailed out and ran. A complainant reported that someone was driving a Jeep Liberty up and down the street — and that the vehicle may have been stolen. Amirah Kinlaw was walking home from school Thursday afternoon when the teen — who police have not publicly identified — plowed a car into the third grader, Baltimore Police spokesman T.J. Smith said at a press conference. Within about 30 seconds, the driver of the vehicle crashed into several people and vehicles, killing Amirah Kinlaw,” said Smith. He had injuries related to the crash, Smith says. Another driver was transported to the hospital in critical condition, police said. The boy, who police picked up within 24 hours of the collision, was transported to the hospital for minor injuries after he was taken into custody.  BALTIMORE (WJZ) — A 14-year-old boy is in custody and will be charged in relation to the crash that killed a nine-year-old girl outside her school Thursday afternoon. “It’s a tragic way to end the school year,” Smith said. So April Carter told her daughter she could stay home a day this week. While the officer had turned to try to stop the Jeep, police said it was not a chase. The officer "never had the chance" to pursue, he said.
– A 14-year-old boy is facing vehicular manslaughter charges after police say he stole a Jeep and hit an 8-year-old girl who was just leaving school Thursday in Baltimore, the New York Daily News reports. According to the Baltimore Sun, police tried to stop the stolen Jeep just three blocks from the school, but it sped off. “We don't chase, school zone or not," Det. Donny Moses says. "We don't chase stolen autos." Thirty seconds later, the Jeep plowed into people and parked cars outside Steuart Hill Academy. A crossing guard, a 9-year-old boy, and another driver were injured. But 8-year-old Amirah Kinlaw was killed. "She was all smiles," Amirah's stepfather, Leon Carter, tells the Sun. "She had no worries, no cares." The driver ran off but was later identified as the 14-year-old through surveillance footage, police say. His identity has not been released. “This kid is 14, made a horrible, horrible, horrible mistake, made a horrible, horrible decision, and it’s two lives for two young people that are forever damaged,” a police spokesperson tells CBS Baltimore. In addition to vehicular manslaughter, the teen faces a variety of other charges, including auto theft. He won't be prosecuted as an adult. “He’s really remorseful,” says Redd Rodriguez, whose daughter is friends with the boy. “He’s a little boy, but he’s facing grown man charges.”
