May 22 (UPI) -- An autistic 9-year-old Florida boy who police say was "ambushed" by two men and taken from his mother's car has turned up dead, authorities said Friday.
Investigators said Alejandro Ripley was driving with his mother in an area west of Miami called The Hammocks on Thursday when their car was sideswiped by another vehicle. When the mother pulled over, police said the two men in the other car blocked her escape and demanded drugs.
