Suspect Criminally Charged in Connection to a Fatal Hit and Run
MILWAUKEE, WI – On Monday, August 5th, 2024, the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office issued criminal charges against Zykevious Joshua-Alexander in connection to a series of egregious crimes including a fatal hit and run collision. The fatal collision occurred on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at approximately 6:20 p.m., on the 100 block of West Walker St.
Additional criminal charges were issued against the defendant including knowingly operating a motor vehicle without a valid license causing death, driving a motor vehicle without consent and fleeing police. If convicted, he could face up to 132 years in prison and fines of up to $220,000.
Most alarming is that this particular defendant is only 14 years of age. The Milwaukee Police Department (MPD) reminds our youth that criminal behavior is unacceptable and we along with our residents will not tolerate harm to members of our community. If you engage in criminal behavior, you will be held accountable.
To our community, we ask that you positively engage with our young people. Teach our youth that reckless, dangerous and harmful behaviors ruin the lives of the victims, families, and the offenders themselves. Support and encourage our young people to make responsible decisions. Causing harm to people or property is not acceptable. We need everyone to be a part of the solution.
