A teenager shot by police at the end of a chase last month faces a long list of charges.

Chekota Whitetree, 14, faces five counts ranging from 1st-degree robbery to larceny of merchandise from a retailer. Tulsa Police booked him into the Tulsa County jail after he was released from the hospital. 

Police say he and three other suspects carjacked a woman last month, then shot at police as officers chased them.
