DALLAS — Two men have been charged following a car chase that ended in a deadly crash in Dallas over the weekend, the Garland Police Department said.
Garland Police said officers were going after a vehicle that was believed to be tied to multiple robberies.
They started following the vehicle shortly after 10 p.m. Saturday, saying the suspects were "armed and were considered extremely dangerous." Police said a weapon was discharged during a previous incident.
The car chase entered Dallas and stopped in the 12200 block of Greenville Avenue when the driver of the suspect vehicle lost control. The vehicle overturned and all five people inside were ejected, according to Garland police.
Police said three people were taken to a hospital with unknown injuries. The other two tried to flee on foot but were quickly captured. The two were treated at the scene and taken into custody.
Police later said one of the people, a 16-year-old, died at the hospital.
The driver of the suspect vehicle was identified as Joey William Jarvis, 18, of Dallas. He was arrested and initially charged with evading arrest causing serious bodily injury and engaging in organized criminal activity, police said. But following the death of the 16-year-old, Jarvis will now face a murder charge.
Police also arrested Bernable Giles, of Garland. He is charged with engaging in organized criminal activity.
Garland police said during the search of the suspect vehicle, five firearms were found, including three AR-15s and two handguns. Police said all of the weapons were loaded and believed to be taken and/or used while committing robberies across the area.
Further details on the other people in the vehicle were not immediately released. Garland police said the investigation is still ongoing, and Dallas police are investigating too.
Garland police said no other vehicles were involved in the crash and no officers were hurt.
