Investigators are still working to determine who was driving the vehicle, why it crashed and how Lay was involved.
Police did confirm that two other teenage boys, ages 14 and 16, were in the vehicle, too.
The vehicle was stolen on Friday morning.
"It’s a tragic reminder that actions even when your 14, 15, and 16 years old, they have consequences and sometimes those consequences can be dire and deadly," Saint Paul Police spokesman Steve Linders said.
