A fatal event transpired late Saturday on 76th Street near Good Hope Road in Milwaukee, when a vehicle traveling at an estimated speed of 80 mph struck two sisters. According to FOX6, 20-year-old Talise Dunmore was killed, and her sister, 23-year-old De-Lisha Dunmore, sustained severe injuries.
Mohamed Odeh, the manager at Furniture Land, positioned near the scene, relayed in a statement obtained by CBS 58, their store's surveillance captured the incident. "They were parked in our parking lot. I saw them walk around here" before they were hit, Odeh recounted, noting that reckless vehicular speeds are not uncommon on that street.
Dr. Jennifer Potts, who taught Dunmore at Center Street Nail Technology Academy, watched the surveillance footage and told FOX6, "I don’t have any words. It really doesn’t even look real. It’s just unreal to see this." The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed that the White Acura involved was moving at double the posted limit, striking the sisters and sending Dunmore airborne. The tragedy was further compounded when video showed that the car continued on without stopping.
After the crash, police discovered the vehicle involved a few miles from the scene, with biological material and hair embedded in its windshield. A 34-year-old was apprehended, with charges under review, as reported by CBS 58. In a heartbreaking statement by the victims' mother to CBS 58, the family expressed their grieving for the loss of Talise, an aspiring nail technician, while also being grateful that De-Lisha survived, albeit with injuries.
Milwaukee authorities are urging anyone with information about the incident to contact the Milwaukee Police at (414) 935-7360 or, for anonymity, Crime Stoppers at (414) 224-TIPS or use the P3 Tips platform.
