Crash near Teutonia and Oriole
MILWAUKEE -- A vigil was held Monday night, April 8 in honor of Latisha Durpree, killed in a crash Saturday, April 6 near Teutonia and Oriole. Her mother asked that the person responsible for her death please come forward.
The crash happened around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. Police said two vehicles were involved. Durpree died at the scene.
Durpree's mother and aunt told FOX6 News on Monday one suspect had come forward, but another was still on the run. Police did not immediately confirm that information.
A Go Fund Me page for Durpree read, in part:
Loved ones on Monday night gathered near the scene to hold hands and pray.
"It's sad for us to be together for this reason, but this is what happens. When you lose a loved one, you come together as a family, and you also hope the community comes together," said Theresa Funches, Durpree's aunt.
"What am I going to do with this one? Y'all took her mother. Why should she suffer because of someone else's stupidity," said Michelle Bonds, Durpree's mother.
Durpree left behind a 7-year-old daughter. Durpree's funeral will be held Friday, April 12.
