3 dead after car crashes into river during police chase
MILWAUKEE (AP/WISN) - A toddler, her young mother and a man died when their vehicle drove into a frigid river while being chased by the Milwaukee Police.
Surveillance video shows the vehicle speeding and the driver losing control before the SUV crashed into the Kinnickinnic River Monday night. Its unclear who was driving the vehicle. Police Chief Alfonso Morales said the adults were suspects in several armed robberies.
The body of 19-year-old Shannon Nehmer was recovered from the vehicle late Monday, family members said. Her child, 2-year-old Annamelia Hernandez, and her 29-year-old boyfriend Charles Barefield were found in the vehicle when it was pulled from the water on Tuesday afternoon.
Online court records show Charles Barefield had one felony conviction for armed robbery in Winnebago County in 2008. He served at least seven years in prison.
