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.
