The teen was later apprehended and has been charged as an adult for second-degree murder and armed robbery.
According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the victim was found in Fort Lauderdale around 5 p.m. on Feb. 1 after his car crashed into a tree. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators pieced together the entire sequence of events with surveillance footage. The victim, who has only been identified as SB, was confronted by the teen, who was wearing dark clothes and a ski mask, and forced by gunpoint into his car. The victim drove to a Bank of America and made two $500 withdrawals. Minutes later, while still driving, the victim was shot in the chest and crashed the car. The suspect then exited the vehicle and fled the scene.
Stills from the footage were used to identify the suspect, a student at Cross Creek School in Pompano Beach.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, the suspect was already in juvenile custody on unrelated charges for burglaries, resisting arrest and battery on a police officer when he was arrested for the murder.
He was moved from juvenile custody into Broward County Jail on Friday and denied bond.
