Teen appears in court on manslaughter charges from Riverside crash

Skylar Lucas-Cox

A teenager facing manslaughter charges stemming from a crash of a stolen vehicle that killed four people appeared in court Thursday.

As we previously reported, Skylar Lucas-Cox is facing two counts of involuntary manslaughter, class-c felonies, and one count of 2nd degree assault, a class-d felony after a crash in April in which four teenagers died on Riverside Road near Cook Road.

Friends identified the victims as Karlo Ginn, Dayton Crockett, Dasean Darden and Javion Thompson. A fifth victim was hospitalized for critical injuries. Lucas-Cox was also seriously hurt in the crash as well as the driver of the other vehicle in the crash.

Lucas-Cox waived formal Circuit Court arraignment Thursday and entered a plea of not guilty. Judge Daniel Kellogg scheduled the case for the trial-setting docket June 22.  The defendant is being held without bail.
