Milwaukee pursuit, 24th and Capitol crash, teens arrested

MILWAUKEE – Video from a Milwaukee neighborhood shows the moment a police pursuit ended in a crash Monday night, June 5 near 24th and Capitol. 

Police said that vehicle was stolen and matched the description of one wanted in connection with a robbery.

Two teenagers were arrested.

The nearly two-mile chase came to an end right in front of Oletta Tyler’s porch. 

“Man, I was nervous,” said Tyler. “Me and my friend, we got up and we ran. I ain’t never ran that fast, but I hid behind my garbage can.”

Tyler recalled hearing the sirens around 7:30 Monday night. She looked down 24th Street toward Capitol Drive and witnessed the police car and the gray car approaching, leaving her in disbelief. 

“When I saw the police car coming down, I saw the gray car coming down, I’m like… this is not real!” she said.

On Tuesday, only debris and the lingering smell remained as reminders of the crash.
