   ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Five teenagers were arrested days after a St.   
   Petersburg hit-and-run crash that killed a 70-year-old man who was just   
   feet away from his home.   
      
   The St. Pete Police Department said the teen boys, who all range in age   
   from 12-15 years old, are facing multiple charges related to the crash   
   that happened on Monday, October 21.   
      
   Investigators said Edward Webb, 70, was hit and killed by a stolen Jeep   
   while walking across 9th Avenue South near his home. The car was   
   heading northbound on 12th Street South and turned on 9th Avenue South   
   when he was hit, according to police.

   for suspects: 'No regard for human life'   
      
   The SUV drove off after hitting Webb and was later found abandoned a   
   few blocks away from the scene, officers said.   
      
   Authorities said a 14-year-old was identified as the driver of the   
   stolen SUV, and he had four other teen passengers in the car when the   
   crash happened. SPPD officials have not released the names of the teens   
   involved.   
      
   Just one day after the crash, Webb's wife, Jeanette Chaniel, said her   
   husband was just getting home from work when he was hit by the vehicle.   
   Webb's family said he owned an air conditioning business.   
      
   Chaniel said Webb had a son, daughters, several grandchildren and   
   great-grandchildren. He was known as the person to always make people   
   laugh, according to Chaniel.

   "With no regard for human life," Chaniel said. "A senseless act. Took   
   somebody’s life and wouldn’t even have the decency to come back and   
   stop."   
      
   The police department is now working with the Pinellas Pasco State   
   Attorney's Office to charge all five teens, officials said.   
      
   The 14-year-old driver was arrested for third-degree murder (felony   
   murder), vehicular homicide while leaving the scene, driving without a   
   license causing death and grand theft of a motor vehicle, authorities   
   said. The other teens face charges of third-degree murder (felony   
   murder) and grand theft of a motor vehicle.
