Overview
- Milwaukee police arrested a 33-year-old Wednesday after Monday night’s hit-and-run that killed a 71-year-old near 43rd Street and Silver Spring Drive.
- Officers said they recovered the car used in the crash and will refer the case to the Milwaukee County District Attorney for possible charges.
- Surveillance video from a nearby business appeared to show a car speeding through the intersection and striking the man as a bus waited at the light.
- Investigators had circulated an image of a black 2010–2015 Chevrolet Camaro with no license plates and likely front-end damage as the vehicle of interest.
- Residents and safety advocates say Silver Spring’s wide lanes and faded crosswalks invite speeding and endanger people walking to nearby bus stops.
