How they died
Vehic/Purs
Javon Butts, 19, and passenger Donte Howlett, 18, were killed when their car crashed into some trees. A 16-year-old girl was seriously injured. Police said Butts made a purchase at the 7-Eleven around the same time an officer was responding to a call of a possible shoplifting. Butts almost backed into the officer's patrol car in the parking lot, police said. The officer assumed they were the suspects and ordered them to pull over, but Butts fled, probably because he was driving without a license.
