Kayden Foster (April 2023)
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee County judge sentenced Kayden Foster on Friday, Oct. 4 to 16 years in prison plus an additional 20 years of extended supervision in connection with a crash that left two people dead near Teutonia and Villard in November 2022.
Foster pleaded guilty in July to four of six charges against him – including two counts of second-degree reckless homicide and hit-and-run. The other two counts against Foster were dismissed and read into the court record for the purposes of sentencing.
Case details
A criminal complaint details the night of Nov. 7. Prosecutors say then-16-year-old Foster picked up his friend in a stolen SUV. Some time later, at the intersection of Teutonia and Villard, his friend told police Foster tried "beating" a red light. It ended in a crash.
Prosecutors say surveillance showed the driver of the SUV got out, grabbed something from inside and ran away.
