A 15-year-old in Minneapolis driving a stolen car was being chased by police when the teen rammed the car into a mother driving herself and her 6-year-old son to Sunday school. The woman was killed, and her son is in critical condition. In a gross injustice, the teenager only received minor injuries.

The boy, who ran from the crash scene at Lake Street and Stevens Avenue and was arrested inside a Kmart store, likely will face several felony charges, including criminal vehicular homicide, Minneapolis police Sgt. William Palmer said.

Police pursued the suspect’s car for about a mile and a half before the chase was called off near Lake Street and Chicago Avenue because of concern for the public’s safety, Palmer said. The crash happened about a half-mile down the street.

“This was a very quick incident,” he said.

The Hennepin County medical examiner’s office identified the victim as 26-year-old Hanna Abukar, of Minneapolis.

Omar Jamal, of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center, spent Sunday consoling Abukar’s husband and friends. He said Abukar had been driving her 6-year-old son and a 13-year-old neighborhood boy to Sunday school when the incident occurred.

“She was a good wife, mother and member of the community,” Jamal said. “It’s a tragic loss.”
