Prosecutors in Trenton have charged a 17-year-old boy with murder after they say he shot and killed a man who tried to stop him from stealing his car with two children inside. The unnamed teen was taken into custody Monday by federal agents in the July 12 shooting death of 27-year-old Yony Emmanuel Cruz-Rodriguez.
Investigators say Cruz-Rodriguez was standing near the open trunk of his Dodge Durango parked in a driveway when the teenage suspect got into the driver's seat and attempted to drive away. Cruz-Rodriguez, according to police, tried to climb into the back of the moving vehicle when witnesses heard multiple gunshots. The vehicle struck two parked cars and overturned near Garfield and Farragut avenues and the teen fled.
