BEXAR COUNTY, Texas — While the Bexar County coroner has not officially identified the boy who was killed Saturday after being thrown from an SUV, his family says he was 14-year-old Henry Casas Jr.

The incident occurred after 12:30 p.m. Saturday on private property on Zigmont Road, south of FM 1346 in East Bexar County.

Casas Jr. was sitting in the vehicle where police say a 16-year-old driver was performing donuts.

The vehicle eventually overturned and Casas Jr. was ejected from the SUV. He died at the scene of the accident.

Casas Jr.'s mother and father said he always had a big smile, loved football and enjoyed spending time with his two older sisters.

According to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, the 16-year-old driver has been charged with manslaughter and injury to a child.

Four other teenagers were injured but are expected to be OK, deputies said.
