David Hunt, 18, died in a November 1 crash at South Layton Boulevard and West Greenfield Avenue in Milwaukee. November 9 follow-up reports say Antwan Kevon White, 36, faces four felony charges connected to the pursuit and collision. The charges and criminal-complaint allegations are not findings of guilt; White is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

What the charging follow-up alleges

TMJ4, citing a criminal complaint, reported that White is charged with second-degree reckless homicide, fleeing an officer resulting in death, fleeing an officer resulting in great bodily harm, and possession with intent to deliver fentanyl. These are charges, not convictions.

According to the complaint as reported by TMJ4, the pursuit began around 10:09 p.m. Central on November 1 after an officer saw a white Nissan Altima disregard a stop sign near South 23rd and West Orchard streets. The officer activated lights and siren and caught up near South 19th and West Mitchell. Prosecutors allege White accelerated and refused to stop.

The complaint alleges a pursuit of approximately 2.1 miles, speeds reaching 90 mph and more than eight stop signs or red lights disregarded. Prosecutors say White went through a red light at Layton and Greenfield and struck the Acura Hunt was driving while Hunt had a green light. TMJ4 reported Hunt died at the scene. This is an attributed complaint account, not an independent crash reconstruction by this publication.

A passenger in White's vehicle suffered serious injuries and required emergency surgery, according to TMJ4's account of the complaint. Earlier police-based reporting described her as 28. CBS 58's November 9 follow-up also reported the four charges, serious passenger injuries and alleged 90-mph pursuit. It said police reported finding powder that tested positive for fentanyl and that White allegedly told investigators he fled because drugs were in the vehicle.

Both follow-ups reported a $300,000 cash bond; CBS 58 said a preliminary hearing was set for November 13. That is the reported schedule, not a statement that a hearing has occurred or a prediction of its outcome.

WISN reported the medical examiner confirmed Hunt's identity. Hunt was a senior at Milwaukee School of Languages and a youth advocate with Voces de la Frontera; TMJ4 identified him as a leader in its YES youth arm. WISN reported school counseling was available for students. An early WISN report gave a different age for the fleeing driver; this update uses 36 from the later charging reports. None of these reports establishes a final adjudication or police civil liability.

Questions investigators may examine

Investigators may reconstruct vehicle speed, signal timing and the movements immediately before impact. The pursuit timeline may also help distinguish the fleeing driver’s actions from those of other participants. Police involvement alone does not establish public-agency liability; any such issue would require a separate, fact-specific legal analysis.

Evidence that may need preserving

  • Intersection or business video and original witness recordings.
  • Available squad-car video, body-camera footage, dispatch audio and pursuit records.
  • Vehicle inspections, electronic crash data and medical-examiner records.

Counsel can assess access and preservation procedures, including whether any public-record request or formal notice is appropriate. Families should keep unedited files and avoid speculating publicly about blame.

What families should know

A criminal case and a wrongful death claim are separate processes. An arrest does not guarantee civil recovery, and a family should not assume it must wait for a criminal disposition before seeking advice. Preserve funeral expenses and insurance communications, and ask about Wisconsin filing deadlines and any special notice rules that could apply.
