Milwaukee police have arrested a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run crash that killed two young sisters and injured their cousin.
Daetwan Robinson, 19, was charged with two counts of hit-and-run involving death, among other felony charges, on Friday in connection with an Oct. 24 crash that killed a 6-year-old girl and her 4-year-old sister, according to police.
The 6-year-old girl was pronounced dead shortly after the accident and her younger sister died at the hospital five days later, police said. The 10-year-old boy survived and was released from the hospital last week. "It was a careless act. It was very careless of them, whoever it was, you know right or wrong. You know at the end of the day it was kids and whoever hit them they confirmed that they were kids before they even hit them, and they still took off," Shanterika Rayford said last week."Whoever it was that did it, I want them to know that you really hurt someone's heart and you really hurt someone's family.
Surveillance footage from the scene showed Robinson traveling"at such a speed that it appears to be fishtailing and on two wheels only just prior to impact," according to a criminal complaint.Investigators arrested Robinson at his home a day after the crash after receiving a tip about a car for sale that matched the vehicle described in the crash.
