Milwaukee fatal hit-and-run, woman killed near 35th and Hadley

MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee woman, 48, was killed when she was struck by a vehicle near 35th and Hadley Monday night, July 11 just before 10 p.m. Police are looking for a dark SUV and the driver responsible for her death.

"It’s bad all over, brother," said Benny Cole.

"There’s just a lot of reckless drivers," said Alex Franklin. "I think it’s kind of heartless. Worst case scenario, yes, you might get a ticket, but karma is going to get you at some point."

Willie Blackmon left for work Monday night around the time the crash happened and witnessed it.

"She started to cross the street," said Blackmon. "I heard screeching, and a car hit her. That’s all I know."
