Multiple tips to police led to charges Thursday against Brayan Sosa, 23, in the hit-and-run death of a 12-year-old boy at a south St. Louis intersection. . . .

The victim, Clinton Vorce, of the 3600 block of Neosho Street, died at a hospital at about 4 a.m. Wednesday from injuries suffered about 8:40 p.m. Tuesday when he was struck as he crossed Gravois Avenue and Delor Street. Police said he crossed against a signal. . . .

Court documents say one witness described a red Audi as traveling “at a high rate of speed” and another called it “very high rate of speed” when the car struck the boy and drove away without stopping. The crash happened on Sosa’s birthday. . . .

Sosa told police he knew he had hit “a man” but continued on, court documents say.
