Timeline:

In July 2024, prosecutors charged Joshua-Alexander with reckless homicide for a fatal crash. Prosecutors say he and another suspect robbed two people at gunpoint when police caught the two actively breaking into a car. 

Joshua-Alexander and the other suspect drove off, and during that chase, hit and killed 31-year-old Marc Jones, who was driving a motorcycle.

A few days later, Joshua-Alexander was arrested. Prosecutors say he admitted to multiple crimes over the course of six weeks.

Joshua-Alexander is accused of armed robbery on multiple occasions: two dates in June, and four different dates in July.

On some of those dates, prosecutors say he robbed multiple people, stealing cars and driving away from police.

On July 19, prosecutors charged the teen in a shooting near McGovern Park. No one died, but a child was shot.
