A police chase ended in a crash in Milwaukee Thursday night, Feb. 19, and two teenagers were arrested.
A criminal complaint said police determined, based on the damage to the two cars, that Henderson was speeding and hit the victim's car. Surveillance video showed the victim's car headed east on Mill Road with a green light when Henderson's Hyundai sped through a red light and hit the Chevrolet.

Investigators reviewed Wisconsin Department of Transportation records and determined that Henderson was driving on a suspended license at the time of the crash, according to the complaint. The same records showed he had several prior convictions for operating while suspended, and that he was aware his license was suspended.
