Three Mississippi teenagers face capital murder charges in the death of a 6-year-old boy who was found dead in his mother’s car on Thursday after it was stolen from a grocery store parking lot while he slept inside it.

The child, Kingston Frazier, was in a toyota camry at outside a Kroger store in Jackson while his mother was inside.

Officials said a honda civic drove up and a passenger got out and jumped into the camry before both cars sped off.

Police found the kidnapped boy dead in the back of the abandoned camry about eight hours later on a rural Madison County road about 10 miles from the store.

A spokesman for the Mississippi State Police said three youths were arrested and are being charged with capital murder.
