15-year-old boy charged with murder in death of West Valley City man killed when stolen car driven by the teen slammed into him in front of neighborhood home
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder in the death of a West Valley City man who was killed when a stolen car driven by the teen slammed into him as he stood in front of a neighborhood home.
Along with the murder charge, the boy was also charged with one count of theft and another for failure to respond to police officers. On May 25, Adrian Hernandez-Rodriguez was talking to a neighbor in front of a home when a stolen Honda CRV traveling at 76 miles per hour struck a curb and went airborne before hitting the 24-year-old victim. Officers on the scene had to ping Hernandez-Rodriguez's cell phone to find his body buried under a large pile of debris, according to court documents.
When the Honda was spotted days later, the teen driver attempted to evade police while driving through the West Valley City neighborhood. The teen and two other suspects got out of the vehicle and tried to abandon it before the teen got back inside and drove away while side-swiping a police vehicle and running over a set of spike strips.
Moments after speeding away, the teen drove around a blind corner and hit the curb that sent him crashing into Hernandez-Rodriguez. An investigation showed the boy was at 99% full throttle when he went airborne.Because one of the homes struck by the Honda had its gas meter sheared off, five nearby homes were evacuated as crews worked to contain the gas leak before residents were allowed back in their homes hours later.
