Pursuit
Police say a call for a stolen other came in, and an officer found a other resembling it. The officer followed the car and flipped on his lights, and Samuel Phillips, 16, took off. Police followed the SUV for about two and a half minutes, with Phillips reaching speeds around 75 miles per hour. The chase came to an end when the other lost control and hit a tree. Philips' brother, Jermaine Fleming, 15, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 17-year-old was ejected from the other and suffered bleeding on his brain. A 15-year-old in the front passenger seat suffered broken bones. Both male teens survived; their identities have not been released.
This record exists so that Samuel Phillips, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
