The man accused of killing 6-year-old Aiden Leos in a road rage shooting committed the crime with 'malice aforethought,' prosecutors allege. Here is what we know about the charges:
Of the list of charges lodged against the six officers involved in the arrest that led to Freddie Gray’s death last month in Baltimore, the “depraved heart” murder charge faced by Officer Caeser R.Aiden was fatally shot on the morning of May 21 while riding in the back of his mother’s car on his way to kindergarten.that she and her son were in the carpool lane when another car cut her off as she started switching lanes to exit.
She made an obscene gesture toward the people in the other car, who then maneuvered behind her and fired a gun at her vehicle, officials said.She pulled over and took the bleeding boy into her arms until paramedics arrived. Doctors could not save him. “It could’ve happened to any one of us,” Spitzer said while holding up a photograph of Aiden during a news conference Monday. “We all drive the freeways of Southern California. We’ve all gotten upset at other motorists. Other motorists have gotten upset at us. I’ve thrown some gestures about myself. But it’s never come to a situation of violence and certainly not in my realm or your realm, to the loss of a life.
After circulating an image of the vehicle said to belong to the suspects in the weeks after the shooting, investigators received hundreds of calls and emails. A reward funded by family members, donations, county officials and local businesses climbed toOfficials are still reviewing the potential distribution of that reward. Spitzer said it is contingent upon both an arrest and a conviction.
