Man Faces Murder Charges in 2013 Carjacking Crash in Chicago

CHICAGO (AP) — A suburban Chicago man has been extradited from Wisconsin to face criminal charges in the 2013 carjacking crash that killed an 11-year-old boy.

Thirty-six-year-old Rockie Douglas of Beach Park is charged with murder, aggravated vehicular hijacking with a weapon and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. He’s accused of crashing into a family’s SUV while fleeing police in a stolen vehicle, killing Donovan Turnage in Chicago on Dec. 21, 2013.

Authorities say Douglas stole another vehicle after the fatal crash and fled the state. He was arrested Dec. 24, 2013 in Milwaukee, where he was held in county jail until Tuesday.

Douglas is expected to appear in bond court Wednesday. The Chicago Tribune wasn’t able to reach his attorney Tuesday for comment.
