Prosecutors Charge 17-Year-Old as Driver in Milwaukee Police Chase Crash That Killed Three

Investigators cite body‑camera footage to identify Dashauna Egerson as the driver in the fatal pursuit.

Overview

  • Online court records show Dashauna Egerson, 17, faces multiple counts including reckless homicide, fleeing, and operating without a license causing death in the Sept. 16 crash at N. 35th and W. Vliet.
  • Prosecutors say body‑worn camera evidence and case filings place her behind the wheel after a seat switch minutes before the attempted traffic stop.
  • A 16-year-old passenger told investigators Trevon Loston ordered her to drive and not stop while holding a gun, and officers found Loston unconscious in the SUV with a firearm.
  • Egerson was arrested at Children's Wisconsin about an hour after the collision and, after initially denying she drove, admitted she was the driver.
  • Loston, 19, appeared in court with bail set at $50,000 on separate counts including firearm possession, bail jumping, and operating a vehicle without the owner's consent, and the victims were identified as Pler Moo, 50, Taw Moo May, 21, and Karlah Ko Moo, 15.
