SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - Six people face charges in connection with a Sioux Falls crash that killed a 15-year-old.

Those facing charges include the parents of one teenager who are accused of trying to cover up the crime.

Fifteen-year-old Kareem Cisse died Wednesday when the sedan he was riding in was forced off the road by a truck after an apparent drug deal went wrong. Police say after the sedan’s driver grabbed marijuana and sped away, the truck chased the sedan at speeds reaching 80 mph before the car hit a tree.



The 16-year-old who was driving the truck has been charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter. His parents are accused of evidence tampering and lying to police, the Argus Leader reports (https://argusne.ws/2mgo45n ).
