A 12-year-old boy in a stolen car was killed in a shootout after the car's owner used an app to track down his vehicle, Denver police said.
The owner told authorities his car was taken from East Northfield Boulevard and he tracked it down nearly 10 miles away in the area of West 12th Avenue and North Decatur Street, according to a news release from the police department.
