St. Petersburg teen killed in skateboarding accident

"I never imagined him doing something like that," Randolph said. "He was too bright for that. But he was 15, he was a teenager. He was adventurous."
A 15-year-old St. Petersburg boy was killed in a skateboarding accident Sunday evening. Julio Moisa, 15, was driving with a learner's permit along Atwood Avenue N towing a skateboard with a rider behind his mother's Mercedes sedan. The boy on the skateboard, Austin Demauro, 15, a freshman at Northeast High School, let go after completing a trick known as "skitching." At this point the boy lost control and fell from the skateboard, striking his head against the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet. Demauro was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, where he was pronounced dead.
