A suspect in a hit-and-run crash that killed a 4-year-old girl in Milwaukee on Tuesday morning was arrested Tuesday evening in Wauwatosa according to Milwaukee Police.

Officers observed a vehicle near N. 83rd St & W. Florist Ave. that they believed to be connected to the hit-and-run crash.

They say the vehicle fled after they attempted to conduct a traffic stop. During the pursuit, the vehicle crashed in a parking lot near 72nd & North Avenue.

Following the crash, the driver complied with officers and was arrested.

The passenger fled on foot and was arrested by officers, according to police. Both were taken to local hospitals for medical clearance.

    We have corrupt police, D.A’s that like to cover crimes of victims, pretend they never happened. Innocent people will suffer behind the hands of the corrupt. Those with money or evidence that get those slaps on the wrist will harm again it’s a cycle. RIP to the angel and prayers for the family

    He already killed someone else in a separate vehicle incident and only received like 10 months and probation. If he was locked up where he should’ve been, this baby would be here. This is infuriating.😡
  • Same side of town same type of people. Anyone really surprised? I see why some people drive around the perimeter of the city just to avoid it. Total cesspool. If you are not in a horrible accident you are getting shot at and/robbed. Wonder how the law abiding citizens even survive in all of that crap?
  • Prayers, prayers, and more prayers this is terrible we live in a wicked world that accident looked intentional.
  • @Oir07
    Unfortunately he killed someone else in 2018 and if the Wisconsin justices wasn’t so stupid this would’ve never happened to that child
