A Milwaukee man has been ordered to serve five-and-a-half years in prison for his role in a police chase that ended in a crash killing a mother and her two sons, closing one painful chapter of a case that shook a West Allis family and rattled city residents already on edge about reckless driving.
On Thursday, April 22, 2026, a judge sentenced Trevon Loston for his involvement in the September 2025 collision, which investigators linked to a stolen Dodge Journey. The crash happened during a police pursuit and claimed the lives of three members of the same family.
During the hearing, prosecutors stressed Loston’s prior criminal record and told the court he had continued to possess a firearm even though he was legally barred from having one. Loston addressed the victims’ relatives in court and said, “I want to send my deepest and sincerest condolences out to the family who lost their lives,” according to CBS 58. He will begin serving his Milwaukee sentence while related cases in Indiana remain pending.
Crash And Victims
Authorities say the pursuit started near North 36th Street and West Wright Street and continued for about a mile. It ended when the fleeing vehicle ran a red light and slammed into the victims’ car at North 35th Street and West Vliet Street on Sept. 16, 2025.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner identified the people killed as 50-year-old Pler Moo, 21-year-old Taw Moo May and 15-year-old Karlah Ko Moo, all of West Allis, according to WISN.
Charges And Courtroom Developments
Court filings allege that 17-year-old Dashauna Egerson was behind the wheel after she and Loston swapped seats in the stolen Dodge Journey. Prosecutors have charged Egerson with nine felonies, including several counts of reckless homicide.
Investigators also contend that Loston, riding in the passenger seat, displayed a gun and urged Egerson not to pull over for police. Egerson has a court hearing scheduled next week, according to reporting from WTMJ.
The deadly crash has once again put Milwaukee’s police pursuit policies under the microscope. The Milwaukee Police Department has said that chases come with serious risks and that the agency reviews its training and procedures after fatal incidents. The wreck on Vliet Street was one of several deadly pursuits in 2025 that fueled demands for tighter oversight and policy changes, WISN reported.
Thursday’s sentencing resolved Loston’s Milwaukee case but left key pieces unresolved. He will serve the prison term imposed locally while his outstanding Indiana matters continue, and Egerson still faces additional court dates ahead. Families and community members are expected to keep pressing for answers and accountability as the legal process moves forward, according to CBS 58.
