BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Multiple teenagers have been charged in connection with an armed carjacking and deadly crash from last month in east Baltimore.
The driver, a 15-year-old boy, is facing multiple charges, including manslaughter, robbery, and hit and run.
One passenger, a 15-year-old girl, has been charged with motor vehicle theft. Another passenger, a 14-year-old boy, has been charged with armed carjacking.
Detectives are working to find a fourth suspect that was also in the car.

On Oct. 23, around 10:50 p.m., police responded to a reported pedestrian-involved crash at the 2600 block of Harford Road.
Officers arrived on the scene and located a 24-year-old man, previously identified as Eric Browner, of Baltimore, unresponsive.
Medical staff arrived on the scene and pronounced Browner dead.
A preliminary investigation revealed that a 2009 Toyota Corolla struck the man, officials said.
Officials also determined the Toyota Corolla had been stolen in a carjacking earlier that evening, around 9:40 p.m., in the 2000 block of Harford Road.

The two boys remain detained at the Department of Juvenile Services (DJS), while the girl is on house arrest.
The incident comes amid ongoing concerns about juvenile crime in Baltimore, including a September crash involving a 12-year-old accused of causing the death of a 69-year-old motorcyclist while driving a stolen vehicle.
Under Maryland law, the 12-year-old cannot face criminal charges in that case because of restrictions on prosecuting children under 13.
In October, Governor Moore directed DJS to develop an intervention program targeting youth motor vehicle thefts, including children too young to face criminal charges.
But nearly a month later, questions remain about what specific changes have been implemented.
