His mother said the car that hit him was speeding up an alley alongside Marshfield Avenue in the North of Howard section of Rogers Park when it crashed into him—and another car with a family inside.
'Next second, it was boom—a boom, and you saw debris and stuff flying—and I didn't see him no more,' the mother said. 'So when he's on the ground.'Witnesses on the scene said police were chasing the stolen Volkswagen.Scanner traffic also indicates that police had eyes on the car. But the Chicago Police Department would not confirm that police were trying to make a traffic stop—saying only that this incident is still under investigation.
