A 12-year-old boy from Georgia was killed after the vehicle he was in flipped during a chase involving a state trooper on Friday, and his grieving mother says police should have stopped pursuing the vehicle because there were children in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A statement by police indicated the driver is suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol, and he now faces homicide-related charges for allegedly causing the boy\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leden Boykins died after a Georgia State Patrol trooper followed Charlie Moore\u2019s vehicle during a highway chase and then used a tactic commonly called a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit, police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leden was a passenger in Moore\u2019s vehicle along with Moore\u2019s teen son,\u00a0according to a report from WXIA in Atlanta<\/a>. Police said Moore\u2019s Kia Sorento overturned after a pursuing trooper used the PIT, which is when a police vehicle clips the rear of a vehicle to make it spin out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
