St. Louis carjacking suspect charged murder of boy, 9

A suspected carjacker has been charged with murder in the fatal car crash that took a young boy's life as he was on his way home from Disney World.

Darian Cummings, 17, was charged with second-degree murder on Friday in St. Louis, where in April a stolen SUV slammed into the family sedan of nine-year-old Caleb Lee, killing the boy.

On April 25 at around 3am, two male suspects asked a pair of St. Louis University students for a ride, police said. After the students agreed, the males brandished a gun and demanded their wallets, phones, and the car.

The carjackers let the students, a man and woman who were both 21, out of the car uninjured after they agreed to the demands.
