A 17-year-old Michigan honor student was killed by two younger boys after leaving a birthday party and offering them a ride home out of the cold, authorities said.

Jack Snyder had just left his girlfriend’s birthday party Feb. 17 in Battle Creek when he offered two kids, ages 14 and 13, a ride during below-zero temperatures, according to WZZM-13.

He didn’t know the youths, who then allegedly tried to carjack Snyder — and then fatally shot him when he resisted, authorities said.

The Calhoun County Prosecutor’s Office charged Justice Chimner, 14, as an adult with felony murder, carjacking and two weapons-related violations, Fox-17 reported. He faces up to life in prison.

The 13-year old-suspect, who was not publicly identified, was charged with homicide, felony murder in the first degree and carjacking. Both teens are being held without bond at a youth detention center.

*Snyder’s desire to help the teens led to his death, said Battle Creek Police Sergeant Jeff Case* according to the Daily Mail.

Chimner, according to the prosecution, submitted a “not guilty” plea and was not granted bond. He requested a preliminary hearing, and asked the judge to set a cash bond, according to his attorney, Morgan Pattan. Chimner could face a maximum life sentence without parole.

David Gilbert, the prosecutor for Calhoun County, asked the judge not to set a bond and noted that Chimner had previously tried to steal and sell a gun. Magistrate Amber Straub declined Chimner’s request for a bond after examining the probable cause records.
The upcoming hearing for Chimner is reportedly set for March 13.
