MILWAUKEE -- Brian Vaughn pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, April 24 to charges in connection with a fatal hit-and-run crash at 17th and Highland in Milwaukee in August 2018.
The crash caused the death of 41-year-old Garrett Baublit and left a 31-year-old woman critically injured. Prosecutors say Vaughn was driving a stolen truck, and he cut off his GPS monitoring device two days before the crash.
