1 Year Old Killed In Stolen Vehicle That Crashed

A 13-month-old baby boy was killed Friday, January 27, 2023 after the car he was in was stolen and was then involved in a 2 vehicle crash in Milwaukee.

Police say the mother parked the vehicle around 11:30 at night outside a store near 35th and Hope and went in the store, leaving the engine running and the doors unlocked with the boy in the back seat.

A 31-year-old woman stole the car and only drove a few blocks at a high rate of speed before crashing the Pontiac G6 into a mini van.

The woman and baby were taken to a hospital, and the occupants of the mini van ran from the scene.

Police say the car seat the baby was in was not secured properly as it was found upside down in the car at the crash scene.

The woman who stole the car is now in police custody.
