Vincent Wallace, 17, of the 4200 block of Miletus Drive near Black Jack, was charged with second-degree murder, resisting arrest, motor vehicle tampering and armed criminal action. Charging documents said that police attempted to stop a car that Wallace was driving at Grand and Page boulevards. Instead of pulling over, Wallace sped away and struck a pickup truck driven by Derrick Jackson at Evans and Vandeventer avenues. Wallace, who was 16 at the time, was driving a 2016 Hyundai Sonata reported stolen in Hazelwood, police said. Charging documents say the officers had stopped pursuing the Sonata but Wallace ran a stop sign and crashed into Jackson's Chevrolet Silverado. Jackson died in the crash.
