Authorities say a Montgomery boy has died 10 days after being hurt when a sport-utility vehicle slammed into an apartment building. Police say 6-year-old Aiden Howard died in a hospital on Sunday. The child was injured Feb. 12th when a SUV rammed through the side of an apartment unit. Police say the driver, 28-year-old Juan Daniels was fighting with a man and drove the vehicle into the apartment intentionally. The boy was visiting inside the apartment at the time and was seriously injured in the crash. Police are still looking for the Daniels. Authorities obtained a warrant for attempted murder against Daniels, and police say the charge could be upgraded now that the boy has died.
