11-Year-Old Boy on His Way for Christmas Haircut Killed by Speeding Carjacker

Police and federal agents are looking for a carjacker who rammed a stolen van into another vehicle on the South Side, killing an 11-year-old boy who was on his way to the barber with his dad for a Christmas haircut.

Donovan Turnage was riding in the back seat when a van struck his family's Chevy Suburban at 55th Street and Halsted Saturday morning. The boy, his 20-year-old brother Derrick and their father were out Saturday to get their customary Christmas haircuts, reports DNAInfo.com, when their SUV was struck in the intersection, sending Donovan flying into the street.

"It hit our car so hard," Derrick Turnage told DNAInfo.com, saying the SUV spun five times. "Like it was going 100 miles an hour."

Chicago Police were in pursuit. The carjacker, believed to be 34-year-old Rockie Douglas of north suburban Beach Park in Lake County, sped away in the van and then hijacked another car at gunpoint, police said. Douglas is wanted for a series of carjackings and robberies in Chicago and Wisconsin.

Illinois State Police and federal agents have joined the  hunt for Douglas, who was last seen speeding westbound on Interstate 88. His stolen car broke down on the Interstate 294 ramp to I-88, and a motorist stopped to help him, reports the Chicago Tribune. Douglas then took that driver's 2007 light blue Honda Accord, with the license plate X14477. He may still be driving that vehicle.

Douglas is 6-feet-3-inches and weighs 275 pounds. Anyone with information may call 911, the Illinois State Police at 630-241-6800 or Chicago Police detectives at 312-747-8380.

The 11-year-old boy was a fifth grader at Morrill Math & Science School.
