Teen girl dies trying to chase down iPhone thieves

An iPhone robbery turned deadly when a girl died after sustaining injures trying to save her phone. The teenager, Rubi Rubio, was only 15. She was walking with her 7-year-old sister when a stranger approached the girls and asked for the time. He then took the phone away from Rubio by force.

The thief then ran into an escape vehicle, a silver Pontiac, that was driven by another accomplice. That’s when Rubio jumped onto the trunk of the escape car.
