14-year-old charged in dragging death

Matthew Jaramillo, 14, told detectives he was driving a stolen car when he picked up a prostitute and parked in an apartment complex lot ...
When a man told him to leave the parking lot, he told police he ran over him several times, dragging him to his death.

It’s not the first time Jaramillo has been in trouble with the law, according to court records.

He was charged with aggravated battery in July, and assault and battery a couple of months later, according to documents filed in Children’s Court.
He was arrested in late March and charged with the unlawful taking of a motor vehicle.

He was recently released to the custody of his mother and ordered to attend school, undertake random drug tests and wear a GPS ...

"He wasn’t even legally allowed to drive yet,” said officer Tanner Tixier, a spokesman for the Albuquerque Police Department.
“It is disconcerting that a 14-year-old is picking up a hooker in a stolen car and killing people.”
