MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) – Police in East Texas are looking for a second vehicle after an alleged hit-and-run that killed a 4-year-old boy and landed an unlicensed driver in jail on a manslaughter charge. The weekend incident in Mount Pleasant also critically injured the boy’s 13-year-old cousin, who remained in a Dallas hospital Tuesday. Mount Pleasant police Chief Jay Burch tells the Longview News-Journal that 21-year-old Edward Joseph Moya is suspected of driving the vehicle that hit Kameron Jones and his older cousin, Joclyn Roberts, when they were crossing a street Saturday night. Witnesses told police a second vehicle struck Kameron. Burch says the first vehicle was traced to Moya. Titus County sheriff’s Lt. Michael Garcia tells The Associated Press that Moya refused a court-appointed attorney and remained jailed Tuesday on $2 million bond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
