A second man was arrested Monday in the death of a 4-year-old Iowa boy who was killed when a car speeding on a city street cut into oncoming traffic and struck two vehicles.
Des Moines police said in a news release that Keith Eric Jones, 47, of Des Moines, was arrested on charges including reckless driving-related homicide and sprinting. Robert Miller III, 35, of Urbandale, was arrested last week on similar charges.
Investigators found that Miller’s sedan was going more than 100 mph along a four-lane highway in Des Moines while racing a BMW SUV that Jones was driving. The accident occurred on December 13.
