A man is charged with killing a father and son during a crash on a highway in Miami, and then stealing one of the victim's cars to get away.
Earl Lewis, 32, was booked into a Miami-Dade County jail early Sunday, more than a month after Jose Eduardo Cepeda Luna, 57, and his son, Cesar Eduardo Cepeda, 34, were killed.

Local news outlets said Cepeda called his father for help on Feb. 9 after crashing into a guardrail on the Dolphin Expressway. After the father arrived, police said Lewis ran into the two men with his 2014 Camaro, and then stole Luna's SUV.
Luna's SUV was found abandoned in Homestead. Investigators matched DNA in the vehicle to Lewis, who was arrested in 2009 on suspicion of attempted murder. That charge was later dropped.

The Associated press contributed to this report.
