So far, the firefighter has not been charged. He was released from custody on April 8th. The Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office said it needed to collection additional evidence before making a charging decision.

The crash happened just after 5:00 p.m. and involved three vehicles -- a pickup truck, a car and a minivan.

Police said a preliminary investigation revealed the pickup truck was traveling southbound on S. 60th St. and struck the minivan as it made a left hand turn. The pickup truck and minivan traveled into oncoming traffic and impacted the northbound car.

The driver and the passenger of the minivan passed away as a result of the crash.



A passenger in the pickup truck and the driver of the car sustained apparent non-life threatening injures and were transported to the hospital for treatment.

The two people killed in the crash were identified as 64-year-old Yoruba Sly-Lundasi of Milwaukee (the driver of the minivan) and 38-year-old Wendell Johnson of Chicago (a passenger in the minivan).

Yoruba Sly-Lundasi



"He's going to be greatly missed. Greatly missed," Tavaree Sly-Lundasi, Yoruba's daughter said. "At least he didn't suffer, though. That I am happy for. Knowing this is where my dad spent his last...whatever it was in that vehicle before he was released to God..."

Tavaree Sly-Lundasi took a piece of her father's minivan from the scene.

"This was my daddy's. It's part of his van. It ain't going to bring him back, but it's something I want to take from here," Sly-Lundasi said.

Yoruba Sly-Lundasi was an Uber driver.

A company spokesperson released a statement saying:

"We were deeply saddened to learn of the tragic deaths of our driver-partner and rider. Our hearts go out to both of the victims' families during this incredibly difficult time."

38-year-old Wendell Johnson from Chicago was known as "Ken" by family members and friends.
