“120 to 140 miles per hour on the freeway, on the public roadways passing people,” said Court Commissioner Katharine Kucharski. “We are all very lucky that nobody is…passed in this situation.”

Moore’s bond was set at $50,000 on Saturday. He is due back in court for a preliminary hearing next week.

The backstory

Sheriff’s deputies were monitoring a home near 2nd and Lloyd on Tuesday, Jan. 7. They were trying to locate the 36-year-old man, who was wanted for burglary and fleeing/eluding.

The man left the home and got into an SUV around 2:30 p.m. that afternoon. Detectives tried to pull the SUV over and, while it did briefly stop, it almost immediately took off.

About a mile into the pursuit, the SUV ran a red light and slammed into a car at the intersection of MLK and Locust. It then careened into a library construction site. 

Nobody in the vehicles involved in the pursuit or crash was injured, according to authorities. A 23-year-ld construction worker inside the building reported leg pain; he was examined and cleared at the scene.

MILWAUKEE – Two people have been criminally charged in connection to a shooting and police chase in Milwaukee. The pursuit involved a U-Haul. 

Prosecutors have charged 31-year-old Dalvin Garrett and 37-year-old Tyesha Ford in the case. 

What we know

According to the criminal complaint, on Jan. 1, officers were dispatched to an apartment building near 29th and Wisconsin. Upon arrival, officers located one person with visible injuries — including bleeding lacerations to his head, significant facial swelling, and an approximately four inch long bullet graze wound to the outer part of his right thigh. 

Officers also located one spent .380 caliber casing and a bullet strike to the floor nearby.

Per the complaint, the victim stated the following. He told police he went to the apartment because one of the occupants was kicking out her roommate — who the victim later identified as Tyesha Ford and her boyfriend — and things were getting confrontational.

When the victim arrived at the scene, he claims he observed Ford and another person fighting and tried to break it up. A man who was with Ford, later identified as Dalvin Garrett, punched the victim in the face, the complaint states. 

The victim told police he squared up to fight and that’s when Garrett pulled out a gun. The victim claims he tried to take the gun away and Garrett pistol whipped him in the head multiple times. During the struggle, they fell into a closet or pantry in the apartment. Around that time, Garrett allegedly fired three rounds, one of which struck the victim in the leg, the complaint states. 

As the struggle continued, the gun the victim and Garrett were struggling over fell on the floor. That’s when Ford allegedly picked it up and pistol whipped the victim in the head as well, court filings say.

At one point, the victim saw that Ford was armed with a second gun, and he was able to grab it from her waistband. When he did that, both Ford and Garrett allegedly began hitting him in the head, causing him to lose consciousness, the complaint states. Following the incident, Ford and Garrett left the scene. 

A witness on scene told police she did not see Ford and Garrett leave, but she told officers that Garrett had been driving a U-Haul that he had stolen months ago.

U-Haul police chase

On Jan. 2 at around 12:02 p.m., Milwaukee officers were on patrol at the intersection of 32nd and Hampton when they observed the U-Haul van wanted in connection with the shooting the day before. Officers activated emergency lights and sirens, and the vehicle initially stopped on Cameron Avenue, between 32nd and 33rd Street, the complaint states. 

Officers approached and ordered the driver out of the vehicle. That’s when the driver accelerated down Cameron Avenue, before stopping again. When officers attempted to approach a second time, the vehicle fled and officers initiated a pursuit. The total length of the pursuit was 6.92 miles. 

Per the complaint, the U-Haul disregarded numerous red stoplights, stop signs, and fled at up to 70 miles per hour in a residential area. 

During the pursuit, the U-Haul slowed and let out a woman in the area of 40th Street and Kiley Avenue, according to the complaint. The pursuit continued with the U-Haul circling that area, before the U-Haul stopped. Officers then arrested Garrett, who was the driver and sole occupant of the vehicle. 

Court filings say an anonymous citizen reported seeing the woman who fled the U-Haul enter a nearby residence. Officers located Ford inside that residence.

The U-Haul van was reported stolen back on Sept. 21, 2024, from a U-Haul store at Capitol Drive and Holton Street in Milwaukee. Officers recovered a rental agreement for that truck. It was rented by Garrett on Aug. 3, 2024, and was to be returned by Aug. 5, 2024, at 1:15 p.m. The vehicle was never returned.
