Warrant Says Teen in Milwaukee Pursuit Crash That Killed Three Was Out on Bond

A new police warrant says the 19-year-old was out on bond and driving a stolen SUV from Indiana.

Overview

  • A mother and her two sons were killed at 35th and Vliet when a fleeing driver ran a red light and struck their car, and five others were injured, according to police.
  • The 19-year-old suspect was found unconscious after the crash, is in custody, and police say charges will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.
  • The search warrant describes a white Dodge Journey with no plates speeding through city streets, running stop signs and red lights, and notes a gun with an extended magazine was recovered.
  • Records cited in the warrant indicate the vehicle was reported stolen out of Elkhart, Indiana, and the suspect had an August arrest there after a separate police pursuit.
  • Vigils drew community members and renewed calls to limit high-speed chases, even as the mayor pointed to data showing traffic-calming projects have reduced speeding and crashes in treated areas.
