Baltimore County police have charged a Gwynn Oak teen in the stabbing death of a man who was gassing up his car to take his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth.

Police say as 19-year-old Carlos Santay-Carrillo approached the attendant's booth at the gas station on Baltimore National Pike on Saturday, 17-year-old Daniel Thompson Jr. grabbed him and demanded money. Santay-Carrillo tried to fight Thompson off, but police say Thompson stabbed him several times, then ran.

Police say a tip from a concerned citizen and surveillance video from a nearby business led them to Thompson and a search of his home turned up clothes matching the clothes worn by the killer that day.

Thompson was arrested on Thursday and charged with first-degree murder. He is being held without bail at the Baltimore County Detention Center.

Santay-Carrillo's wife gave birth to their first child, a son, on Mother's Day.
