Morrisville, Durham police following leads more than week after 16-year-old found dead after crash

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- ABC11 continues to ask questions more than a week after a carjacking in Morrisville that led to a police chase and later a deadly crash in Durham.

A 16-year-old boy from Raleigh was killed in that crash.

Durham Police told ABC11 on Friday that they are working to identify a possible passenger in the car. Morrisville Police also said they are working on search warrants to learn more about the case.

"Anything can happen at any point in the day, on a Tuesday, it doesn't matter," said Morrisville resident Daesean Harvin. "Just try and be aware of your surroundings."

Harvin said he noticed several police cruisers as he was driving to work early last week and realized what he saw now. He drove by a stolen white BMW SUV that was flipped on the side of South Miami Boulevard in Durham.

Harvin lives at the complex where investigators in Morrisville said a carjacking happened the same morning the car was found. Detectives said at least four masked people pistol-whipped the SUV's owner and stole the vehicle.

Police in Morrisville gave chase but ended up stopping their pursuit.

A two-hour gap followed, then the same car was found in Durham with the 16-year-old thrown from it and others nowhere to be found.
