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.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
