A 17-year-old has been charged in connection with a deadly hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian on the 1300 block of N. 13th Street in Milwaukee.
The teen faces two charges: hit-and-run resulting in death and operating without a valid license, causing death.
Shawn Barco, 35, was struck by a vehicle at around 9:10 a.m. on April 23. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office identified Barco, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
A Milwaukee Police Department officer observed the suspected vehicle driving recklessly on the 1500 block of N. 15th Street. When the officer attempted to make a stop, six or seven occupants fled on foot.
One teen later returned to the scene and was arrested; however, that teen denied being the driver. A 15-year-old male also turned himself in to the Milwaukee Police for his participation in the fatal hit-and-run.
Witnesses later identified the 17-year-old driver.
