Playground fight leads to homicide charges

A 13-year-old boy was charged with criminal homicide after police say he struck another teenager in the head with a rock during a fight.

D’Angelo Carr, 15, died Monday at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Police said he got into a fight for unknown reasons the night before on a basketball court at Goodlettsville Elementary School.

Authorities are not identifying the 13-year-old because of his age. The boy is in custody.

Police Chief Terry Hutcherson said the rock used in the fight was larger than a baseball and smaller than a softball.

Police are still investigating and others could also be charged.
