An early morning crash left two people dead in Milwaukee.
According to police, a black Kia was speeding when the driver lost control and hit a pole near 27th and Center around 2:45 a.m. Friday morning.
Both occupants, a 23-year-old and a 22-year-old, died at the scene. Police originally told TMJ4 they were looking for suspects, but later corrected that they are not.
Family have identified the 23-year-old as Willie Moton.
Family have identified the 22-year-old as Linda Scott. Her grandmother, Janet Scott, says Linda had a two-year-old son of her own. Janet shared this picture with us.
"They went to a bar and the next thing I heard was she was dead," Janet says. "That’s why I’m here now at the scene trying to find out what happened. They say a car hit them and the car kept going but if anybody saw what happened please notify the police and let them know because it took my grandaughter’s life and her best friend's. We would really
appreciate that.”
Janet says another car hit Linda's before it hit street pole and then left the scene. Police have not confirmed or denied this.
