Driver with revoked license sentenced after death of 15-year-old

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Milwaukee man was sentenced on Friday, April 12 after a fatal crash that killed 15-year-old Donkeise Caldwell. 

Shayqwen Thompson, who is now 26, was charged with knowingly operating a motor vehicle with a revoked license, causing the death of another. 

According to a criminal complaint, Thompston struck Caldwell while he was crossing the street, the complaint says Caldwell and his friends had left Vincent High School to get candy from Walgreens, and while heading back, Caldwell jogged across the northbound lane of N. 91st Street. It says he crossed over the median and was running in the southbound lane, getting to the middle of the road before appearing to turn to try to make it back. A witness said the striking vehicle attempted to swerve to avoid hitting the boy but was unsuccessful. 

At this point, the victim was hit by an oncoming car driven by a man later identified as Thompson.

Thompson admitted that he did not have a valid driver's license after failing to pay a ticket and then receiving several operating after suspension tickets. 

Thompson was sentenced to 90 days in jail with Huber release for work, and 30 months of probation. 

Court documents show Thompson pleaded guilty in February.
