It's alleged the teen failed to stop the Ford Focus he was driving at a stop sign on Anthony Street about 10.40am, colliding with a Holden Barina and then a 76-year-old man on a mobility scooter.
The man died at the scene, the Barina driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries and police said a male and female in the Focus left the scene on foot.
Police allegedly found cannabis, medication not prescribed to the boy and two stolen cards when they searched him and his backpack.
He was charged with seven offences over the incident including dangerous operation of a vehicle causing death whilst adversely affected by an intoxicating substance, leaving the scene of an incident without getting help, unlicensed driving and drug possession.
He was also charged with nine property charges over alleged offences on Thursday in the Logan area.
He was refused bail to face Beenleigh Children's Court today.
A 16-year-old girl who hadn't been charged was helping police with their investigations.
