2 Milwaukee men charged in hit-and-run crash that killed Bell Ambulance EMT
Milwaukee County Jail MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Two Milwaukee men have been charged in connection with a crash that killed a Bell Ambulance worker. Investigators say the accused had been street racing before the crash occurred near 76th and Glendale on Jan. 15.
According to a criminal complaint, Meng Kue was traveling on 76th Street in a 2025 Volkswagen SUV when he was t-boned by a 2008 Chevy Silverado.
Kue was pronounced dead at the scene.
One witness, according to the complaint, reported she was stopped at the red light at 76th and Appleton when she saw a black Chevy pickup truck stop next to her and when the light turned green, the truck and two other vehicles began racing down 76th. The witness stated she saw the truck strike the SUV at the intersection of 76th and Glendale and she stopped to help. That's when, according to the complaint, the witness reported the driver of the truck got into one of the other vehicles that had been racing and fled the scene. Investigators say the driver of that vehicle was identified as 37-year-old Earl Gordon of Milwaukee.
According to the complaint, police recovered receipts from the truck with the name Dayton Milligan on them, as well as debit cards for Dayton Milligan. Officials also located a blue Los Angeles Dodgers hat and a yellow visitor's tag for Children's Wisconsin with a date of Jan. 15 -- the same day as the crash.
The complaint says investigators viewed video from Children's Wisconsin and found Milligan was there, the same day as the crash, wearing a blue Dodgers hat and a yellow visitor's badge. Security video from outside the hospital reportedly shows Milligan get into the 2008 Chevy Silverado and drive off approximately 23 minutes before the crash.
Authorities looked into Milligan's criminal record and found he's never had a driver's license and was convicted in 2021 of hit-and-run causing death in a case in Ashland County.
On Jan. 16, Milligan was arrested. Detectives noted, per the complaint, Milligan had a very large wound on his right knee, and it was actively bleeding through the large bandage he had on. Officials say the bandage appeared to be "hastily applied" and did not appear consistent with a bandage applied by medical personnel. Authorities believe, following the crash, Milligan treated his own injuries and that's the reason for the large bandage on his knee.
Officials also looked into the data from the Chevy pickup truck and found it had been traveling at 101mph .5 seconds before the crash. The speed limit at the intersection of 76th and Glendale is 35mph.
Milligan has been charged with the following:
- First degree reckless homicide
- Hit-and-run - resulting in death
- Knowingly operate motor vehicle while revoked - causing death
Gordon has been charged with the following:
- Hit-and-run - resulting in death, as party to a crime
- Harboring or aiding a felon
