17-year-old sentenced after chase and crash that killed 1, injured 9
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- 17-year-old Jordan Williams was sentenced on Wednesday, July 31, after a crash that killed one teen and injured nine others last year.
Court documents show that Williams was found guilty of the following charges:
- First-Degree Reckless Homicide
- Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude Officer Resulting in the Death of Another
- Knowingly Operate Motor Vehicle Without a Valid License
- Vehicle Operator Flee/Elude Officer Resulting in Great Bodily Harm
Last year, Milwaukee police said officers tried to stop a stolen vehicle that was also wanted in connection to an armed robbery. The vehicle did not stop and during the ensuing chase, the suspect vehicle crashed into another car at an intersection.
Police say a 17-year-old in the stolen vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene. A 15-year-old male, 16-year-old male, two 17-year-old males, an 18-year-old female and two unknown females, all from the suspect vehicle, were all injured.
Two more women from the second car, ages 25 and 42, were also injured
Williams was found guilty by jury in June and was sentenced to 28 years behind bars.
