Teen Who Received Controversial Heart Transplant Dead after Carjacking Chase
A teen who received a controversial heart transplant two years ago is dead following a carjacking and high-speed chase near Atlanta. The teen made headlines in 2013 when he was rejected for a transplant over his juvenile record. Anthony Stokes, 17, gained national attention two years ago after Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta first rejected him as a heart transplant candidate after learning he had a juvenile record.
What he did Tuesday afternoon cost Stokes his life. Roswell police say the teen led police on a high speed chase that ended in a violent crash on Alpharetta Highway.
Police said Stokes’ crime spree started at perimeter mall with a carjacking. Then he drove to Alpine drive in North Fulton County and broke inside a house. A short time later, police spotted the stolen car and chased the teen up Alpharetta Highway near Hembree Road.
