Judge Sets $300,000 Bond for Teen Charged in Milwaukee Pursuit Crash That Killed Three

Prosecutors say body-camera video plus a passenger’s account identify her as the driver under gunpoint.

Overview

  • Dashauna Egerson, 17, made an initial appearance Monday in Milwaukee County Court, where a judge set her bond at $300,000.
  • Egerson is charged with nine felonies, including three counts of second-degree reckless homicide, fleeing police, and driving without a license causing death in the Sept. 16 crash that killed a mother and two sons and injured two others.
  • Investigators say Egerson initially denied driving but admitted it after being shown body-camera footage; a 16-year-old passenger reported that seats were switched and a gun was pointed at the driver.
  • Co-defendant Trevon Loston, 19, faces charges of firearm possession as an adjudicated delinquent, bail jumping, and operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent, with bail set at $50,000 in a Saturday hearing.
  • The SUV was reported stolen from Elkhart, Indiana, and court records say Loston had recently bailed out there after a separate pursuit before bringing the vehicle to Milwaukee.
