Police arrest suspect in crash that killed 14-year-old girl

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Albuquerque police on Friday arrested a 21-year-old woman on homicide and multiple other charges in a fatal crash that left a teenage girl dead. Police say Elexus Groves was driving a stolen car on Wednesday when she crashed into a car carrying a mother and her two children. Fourteen-year-old Shaylee Boling was killed and her mother is in critical condition. Her 3-year-old brother was not seriously hurt. Police say events began when officers spotted a stolen vehicle and tried to stop it, but discontinued their attempt because of "reckless actions" by the driver. Officers later found the stolen vehicle after it was involved in a crash with the vehicle carrying Boling, her mother, and her brother. Police are still searching for the man who was with Groves.
