Police Charge 2 Men In Fatal Philly Carjacking

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two men who carjacked a woman and sexually assaulted her in her SUV before plowing into a family selling fruit on a street corner, killing three children, were charged with murder on Monday, police said. Johnathan Rosa and Cornelius Crawford were each charged with three counts of felony murder and other crimes, police announced at a news conference. Police said they believe Rosa, 19, and Crawford, 23, forced a real estate agent into her sport utility vehicle on Friday, then took off at high speed. The arrests and charges capped a three-day manhunt by police, who received help from businesses offering security footage and people calling in tips about the Friday morning carjacking. Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle speeding through the intersection, then children lying motionless on the ground.
