An 11-year-old South Side boy, on his way to get a Christmas haircut with his father and older brother, was killed Saturday when a carjacked vehicle being chased by the police crashed into them in Englewood.
“He took our angel from us,” Annette Turnage, 51, said of the carjacker, who got away.
Donovan Anthony Turnage was a fifth-grader at Morrill Math & Science School.
His mother said he loved football and video games, had a pet bird and a pet turtle and loved being with his family.
Losing him just days before Christmas “is very painful,” she said. “He was looking forward to opening his presents on Christmas.”
Donovan’s older brother, 20, also was in his family’s Chevrolet Suburban, and so was their father. They were on their way to get haircuts, Turnage said amid family and friends gathered Saturday night at her home in Chicago Lawn.
Around 12:30 p.m. Saturday, officers on patrol saw an armed carjacking in the 5000 block of South Princeton Avenue and drove off after the stolen vehicle, until it crashed into the Turnages’ Suburban near Garfield Boulevard and Halsted Street, according to the police.
Turnage said her husband told her he had a green light at Halsted when they were hit.
“This other car came out of nowhere,” she said, hitting the rear of their vehicle and spinning it around. “They ended up on the sidewalk.”
Donovan had been in the back seat, she said, but “the impact was so hard it threw him out the back passenger window.”
Donovan was pronounced dead at the University of Chicago’s Comer Children’s Hospital at 1:35 p.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Police spokesman Adam Collins said the police chase will be reviewed, as every pursuit is, by the department’s Traffic Review Board.
“Until that review takes place, there’s not much more we can say,” Collins said.
After crashing into the Suburban, the armed carjacker stole another vehicle and got away, according to the police. NBC5 reported the carjacker pointed a gun at the driver of a truck and took his vehicle.
“He showed a gun, and he told me verbally that he had a gun, and he jumped in my truck,” the driver of the second vehicle told the station.
Regarding the decision whether to further puruse the carjacker, Collins said: “We make vehicle pursuits on threats to the community. This was obviously an exceptional situation.”

The man who allegedly committed a series of carjackings this weekend in Chicago, leading to the death of an 11-year-old South Side boy, was captured Tuesday while apparently placing an order at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Milwaukee, authorities said.
“He was at the window,” U.S. Marshal Supervisor Douglas Bachert said about Rockie Douglas. Douglas, 34, was with a woman in his car when he was apprehended, Bachert said.
Douglas was the subject of a manhunt by Chicago, state and federal authorities for his crime spree this weekend in Chicago. Police had said he may have been driving a light blue 2007 four-door Honda Accord with Illinois license plate X144777.
Chicago and state police say Douglas began a series of carjackings in Chicago on Friday, when he allegedly stole a green Dodge Caravan at 11:20 a.m. in the 800 block of West Irving Park Road.
Police said they tried to pull him over in that van Saturday, but he fled and crashed into an SUV in Englewood carrying 11-year-old Donovan Turnage, as well as his father and older brother.
Turnage, of the Chicago Lawn neighborhood, was pronounced dead a short time later. Meanwhile, Douglas allegedly stole a second car and got away.
Police said he stole a third vehicle, the 2007 Honda Accord, after the second stolen car broke down in the western suburbs.
