OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 08/13/2023, at approximately 11:20 p.m., Milwaukee Police Department officers attempted to stop a stolen Hyundai Elantra near North 51st Street and West Hampton Avenue. Police reported that the vehicle had been reported stolen two days earlier and had also been connected to an armed robbery that occurred shortly before officers located it. The 16-year-old driver, later identified as Jordan Williams, continued driving away while Milwaukee police pursued.
Investigators determined that the Hyundai reached approximately 100 mph during the pursuit while traveling on city streets with a posted speed limit of 35 mph. The vehicle ran multiple red lights before entering the intersection of North 68th Street and West Silver Spring Drive, where it collided with a vehicle occupied by two women. The Hyundai then caught fire.
Jamillian Brown, who was riding as a passenger in the Hyundai, suffered fatal injuries and died at the scene. Seven other teenage passengers in the Hyundai survived with injuries. The occupants ranged in age from 15 to 18 years old. The two women in the other vehicle, ages 25 and 42, were also injured and transported to area hospitals.
The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner identified the deceased as Jamillian Brown. Following the crash, prosecutors charged driver Jordan Williams with first-degree reckless homicide, fleeing an officer causing death, and related offenses. In June 2024, a Milwaukee County jury convicted Williams on multiple felony counts. On July 31, 2024, he was sentenced to prison.
Brown's family publicly stated that Jamillian was not involved in the armed robbery or the theft of the Hyundai and asked that he not be defined solely by being a passenger in the vehicle. His parents said he had recently turned 17, was artistic, and hoped people would remember who he was rather than the circumstances of his death.
Publicly available records reviewed through August 2026 do not identify the Milwaukee police officers involved in the pursuit. No officer was publicly reported to have been criminally charged or disciplined in connection with the pursuit. No publicly reported wrongful-death settlement involving Brown's death was located.
