A Washington, DC, mother handed her 12-year-old son over to police Wednesday, as he is suspected of an attempted carjacking that left his 13-year-old accomplice dead.
The woman called police on October 31 after recognizing her son in a picture shared online by law enforcement, reported the Daily Mail. The boy, who has not been publicly identified, was processed in a juvenile court later that day.
His alleged accomplice, Vernard Toney Jr., was fatally shot by an off-duty federal security officer when the two boys attempted to carjack him, police said.
