The youngster was on his way home from school in June 2024 when Aleksanders ploughed into him in a BMW.
West Midlands Police said at the time there were four people in the car, which was driving “well above” the speed limit.
Aleksanders left the UK as a ÂŁ10,000 reward for information was offered up by Crimestoppers.
The driver fled to Latvia where he evaded justice for two years.
Aleksanders was finally returned to the UK on August 5 and was taken to the West Midlands to be charged.
Police confirmed Keaton’s parents were being supported by specially trained officers and had been updated on the developments.
