A man who allegedly committed a carjacking in Newark NJ was killed after he got into an auto accident during a police chase.

The deceased suspect was an 18-year-old man who lived in Newark, New Jersey. According to Essex County law enforcement, the suspect was one of three people who stole a car, a Mercedes Benz, from a victim and then sped off.
