A 15-year-old Tulsa girl was charged Tuesday with multiple charges, including first-degree murder, in connection to a December 2016 chase that ended in a fatal crash in Tulsa County. 

Sedleigh Reese Cohen, 15, was charged with first-degree murder, possession of a stolen vehicle and driving without a drivers license.
