Milwaukee woman charged after hit-and-run crash injures 2 in West Allis
A Milwaukee woman faces multiple felonies after authorities say she intentionally crashed her vehicle into two pedestrians ― one the father of her child ― in West Allis.
Shakeena Howell, 33, is charged with two counts of hit-and-run, causing great bodily harm; two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment (one count is domestic violence related); two counts of operating a vehicle with a suspended license causing bodily harm; and one count each of criminal damage to property and domestic abuse.
If convicted of all charges, Howell faces up 63 years in prison and fine up to $181,000.
Howell believed the father of her child was having relations with one of his temp agency employees
According to the criminal complaint:
On Oct. 4, around 6:45 a.m., West Allis police responded to 7447 W. Greenfield Ave., for reports of a vehicle striking a pedestrian. When officers arrived, they observed two injured people, who were subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment. Both victims, two men, suffered fractures as a result of the crash.
Officers spoke to five witnesses who saw the crash and learned that four of them ― and one of the victims ― are employees of a temp work company of the other man who was injured in the crash. They were all gathered in a parking lot waiting to leave for a job when one of the victims pulled up in his vehicle with Howell and parked on South 75th Street ― south of where the rest of the crew was preparing to leave to be picked up by the victim and Howell.
Howell and the victim ― later revealed to be the father of her child ― were arguing about the victim’s alleged infidelity with one of the female crew members who also was in the parking lot. Howell used to be employed by the victim’s temp agency as well.
After the argument was assumingly resolved, Howell got into the victim’s vehicle, drove it through the parking lot where the crew was standing and accelerated toward the vehicle of the woman Howell is accused of having relations with, striking it on the passenger’s side.
The crash pushed the woman’s vehicle into the two victims, causing both men to be thrown into the street.
After hitting the vehicle, Howell left the scene and continued driving eastbound on West Greenfield Avenue. She did not stop or return to the scene to check on the two injured men.
Officers later discovered Howell didn’t have a valid driver’s license
Officers later discovered Howell didn’t have a driver’s license and had been cited for driving without one on three occasions.
Howell was arrested several days later. As she was being arrested, she told the officers, “It’s not a hit-and-run. I didn’t hit anybody; I hit a car. I hit the side of her car … they sleepin’ together.”
Howell’s next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 18. Additionally, she was ordered to have no contact with the victims or the other temp company employees.

Travelers see shorter lines at Milwaukee Mitchell despite the ongoing partial government shutdown
MILWAUKEE — Despite a partial government shutdown causing long TSA lines at airports across the country, travelers at Milwaukee Mitchell airport are experiencing short wait times ahead of spring break.
John Wahlen and his colleague Joe Orendorf were coming back home from North Carolina and prepared for a much different scene.
“We were remarkably surprised that it was as easy as it was,” Wahlen said.

A national TSA spokesperson told TMJ4 that over 3,450 TSA officers called out across the country on Thursday. The national call-out rate was at 11.83% percent, the highest since the shutdown began.
While the TSA could not provide specific numbers for Milwaukee Mitchell, the airport was not in the top-10 for call-out rates.
The highest percentages of call-offs came from much larger airports, including George Bush Intercontinental in Houston at 44 percent, Atlanta at almost 41 percent, and Baltimore at 37 percent.
“We were in smaller airports, Raleigh-Durham, I think we waited for two people, and one of them was him,” Orendorf said.

A spokesperson for Milwaukee Mitchell told TMJ4 that around 11,000 people are expected this Friday and Saturday, and next Friday and Saturday as spring break travel peaks.
President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA agents, meaning a resolution may be on the horizon. Travelers, including Selena Mauricio, said they are thankful for the agents who are still showing up.

“Their jobs aren’t easy, and I commend the ones that still come to work, definitely,” Mauricio said.
