ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — St. Petersburg Police said two more people have been charged over the death of a 13-year-old boy in January at an illegal street race.
Ethan Martin, 13, died on Jan. 29 after he was hit by a motorcycle that was traveling more than 100 miles an hour, according to police.
Martin's father, Johnny Martin, 35, was charged with child neglect earlier this month. Police said he brought Ethan to the illegal event.
Ethan was hit around 12:35 a.m. when he crossed 28th Street into the path of the motorcycle, a press release said. He died at the scene.
