MILWAUKEE -- Terron Clayborn changed his plea from not guilty to guilty on Wednesday, May 1 in connection with the death of a Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW) employee. That incident happened near 17th and Vine on Feb. 8. DPW worker Bryan Rodriguez died as a result of the wreck.
Clayborn faced one count of hit-and-run involving death and one count of knowingly operating while suspended, causing death. The court accepted his guilty plea on Wednesday -- and found Clayborn guilty as charged.
