Teen faces 15 years in prison in connection with boy’s death

A Mississippi teen has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in the death of a 6-year-old boy who authorities say was inside a car stolen from a supermarket parking lot.

Eighteen-year-old D’Allen Washington was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty in February to accessory after the fact in the kidnapping of Kingston Frazier. Washington has agreed to testify against two others in the case including Byron McBride. Prosecutors say McBride shot and killed Frazier after stealing the car in which he was sleeping in May 2017. They want to seek the death penalty against him.

A third teen, Dwan Wakefield, also faces accessory charges.

The Clarion Ledger reports that Kingston Frazier’s father, William Frazier, spoke in court against the sentencing, saying all three participated in stealing the car.
