A carjacking suspect was killed when the stolen SUV he was in crashed during a police pursuit in New Jersey's largest city, prosecutors said.
A preliminary investigation found three men stole the vehicle in Newark on Saturday, Essex County prosecutors said. The pursuit by Newark police soon ensued and the crash occurred a short time later.
Quadir Jackson, 18, of Newark, suffered serious injuries in the crash and was taken to a hospital. He was pronounced dead there a short time later.
Prosecutors say two other men were also charged in connection with the carjacking.
Mutah Brown, 21, of Newark, and Kevin Anderson, 21, are both charged with receiving stolen property, while Brown also faces an eluding charge. It wasn't known Sunday if either man has retained an attorney.
