Investigators later learned Miller got a spare key from the property manager to get into his apartment less than 30 minutes after the wreck.
Filings say it started when officers were patrolling near 35th and Vine and spotted Miller's car without a front license plate – and began to follow it to conduct a traffic stop. But instead, the vehicle sped off up 34th Street towards Lloyd.
Miller is not charged in connection to the case, but is named in multiple court documents as the suspect.
Court records show Miller has a history with police caught on camera. In March 2018, West Allis police pulled over a vehicle, but it then sped off. The driver sped and swerved through lanes, crossing the center line. Police used stop sticks, but the driver got on the freeway, wheels sparking. He eventually ditched the car and ran across the lanes of traffic.
Miller was 23 years old at the time. He was convicted in that case.
