A New Jersey man who authorities said left his 2-year-old son to die after a car crash has been found guilty of murder.

Christopher Kuhn, 28, crashed as he drove off after allegedly shoplifting from a Philadelphia-area Walmart.

Prosecutors said Kuhn, of Hamilton, N.J., was convicted Wednesday of third-degree murder and other charges.

Police say Kuhn fled the Levittown Town Center store in Pennsylvannia in October after taking $228 worth of television speakers.

After jumping in his car, he hastily placed his son inside without buckling him in, FOX 29 reported.

Kuhn ran a red light and collided with two other vehicles, the impact throwing his son onto the road.
