TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A 35-year-old man has been arrested in the death of an 8-year-old boy who was killed in a crash while riding on the back of a moped in Topeka.
The suspect was arrested Thursday on suspicion of several charges, including second-degree murder and reckless driving. Prosecutors say Trenton Feliciano was riding on a moped driven by the suspect on Oct. 4, 2014. Police say witnesses reported seeing the vehicle speeding before it collided with a car driven by a 19-year-old woman who had a 1-year-old baby with her.
The woman and the baby were taken to the hospital for treatment. The suspect was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
The suspect is being held on $300,000 bond and is scheduled to make his first court appearance Friday.
