Case details
The crash happened Nov. 2, 2023 near 100th and Capitol. Milwaukee police said a Wauwatosa officer was pursuing a reportedly stolen BMW that fled a traffic stop, but the chase was called off before the crash.
Surveillance video from a nearby gas station captured the collision. It showed the victim’s vehicle pull into the intersection before the hit-and-run driver slammed into it. The video also captured the at-fault driver run across the parking lot.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as 32-year-old Erin Mogensen, who died at the scene. The medical examiner also said Mogenson was several weeks pregnant at the time of her death.
According to a criminal complaint, the Milwaukee Police Department Crash Reconstruction Unit downloaded data from the stolen vehicle’s airbag control module. Prosecutors said that data shows the BMW was going 116 mph before the crash and slowed to 78 mph one second before the crash “indicating heavy braking.” The speed limit on Capitol Drive at the crash site is 35 mph.

Police found a Walmart receipt in the abandoned BMW. They went to the Walmart store noted on the receipt and reviewed video from the same time. The complaint said the footage showed the BMW pull into the parking lot. A man got out and went into the store, close-up video showing the man had a “distinctive tattoo depicting a clock on his hand.”
On Nov. 2, 2023, police went to the home where the BMW was initially stolen. The complaint said while “knocking on the door, police saw a man inside motioning to a woman inside.” The woman would not identify the man, prosecutors said, and officers later saw “a man’s arm open a window.” The officer yelled for the man to show his hands, and the arm “abruptly retreated” inside and closed the window. Police then went into the home to stop the man from escaping, and noted Mosley had a “tatoo depicting a clock” on his hand.

When police looked inside a smoldering grill in the backyard of that home, the complaint states they found charred and burnt clothing and partially burned papers on which the words “BMW North” were written. A key fob for the BMW was in the house where Mosley was arrested.
When questioned by police, the complaint states Mosley said he had the car “about a week” before the crash, but someone had stolen it from him, and he hadn’t used it since. Mosley had “no explanation” for the presence of the BMW outside the home where he was arrested.

Community members and city leaders celebrated the opening of four new community-powered fridges on the North Side of Milwaukee. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Friday, Feb. 27, at Metcalfe Park Community Bridges, 3624 W. North Ave., to mark the occasion.
The effort to fight food scarcity by opening community-powered fridges comes after several grocery stores closed in the area, creating a food desert.
District 15 Ald. Russell W. Stamper II, who saw several grocery stores in his district close over the past few years, served as the event’s emcee.
“We could either complain about the problem, or we could come together to find a solution,” Stamper said.
In July 2025, a Pick ‘n Save on the North Side closed, prompting the opening of a community-powered fridge at Tricklebee Café in the Sherman Park and Uptown area. Since then, several other grocery stores have closed in the area.
This led Stamper, FEED MKE, Metcalfe Park Community Bridges and One MKE to open four more community-powered fridges.
Christie Melby-Gibbons, executive director of Tricklebee Café, talked about the organization’s community-powered fridge. About a week ago, the fridge was empty for the first time since its launch, so staff turned to their online community for support.
“Within 20 minutes, a woman came in with bags of food and filled the fridge for less than $100,” Melby-Gibbons said.
The community-powered fridge network is run by residents on a take-what-you-need, leave-what-you-can model. Taking a grassroots approach to solving food insecurity in the area, community members provide fresh produce and other healthy food options to ensure that their neighbors have access to nutritious foods.
“Everybody deserves to eat. I can’t go to sleep at night knowing my neighbors are hungry,” said Melody McCurtis, deputy director of Metcalfe Park Community Bridges.
Here’s a list of all the community-powered fridges:

3624 W. North Ave.

3526 W. Fond du Lac Ave.
