Milwaukee police chases hours apart; 2 men accused of fleeing, more
The Brief Two men are charged in a pair of police chases that happened hours apart. Prosecutors said one man was the driver in the first chase, while the other was the driver in the second chase. In addition to fleeing police, both men face multiple drug and weapons-related charges. MILWAUKEE - Two Milwaukee men are each charged with multiple felonies, including drug and gun charges, after a pair of police chases that happened hours apart on June 2. In Court Prosecutors accuse 24-year-old Kevin Parks of fleeing police first, with 20-year-old Javonte Bailey in the passenger seat. They got away at first but were arrested later the same day after Bailey fled officers with Parks in the car. FREE DOWNLOAD: Get breaking news alerts in the FOX LOCAL Mobile app for iOS or Android In addition to fleeing police, both men face multiple drug and weapons-related charges. At one point, court filings said undercover officers saw Bailey point a gun toward a school as kids were being let out for the day. Parks and Bailey made their initial court appearances on Sunday, and both had bond set at $35,000. The men are due back in court for preliminary hearings on June 16. What they're saying According to a criminal complaint, undercover officers spotted a black Honda with a stolen license plate near Teutonia and Green Tree. The Honda pulled into a gas station and the driver, identified as Parks, went in and out of the store with "a large firearm" in his waistband. The passenger was identified as Bailey. The undercover officers followed the Honda as Parks and Bailey left the gas station and drove down Green Tree shortly after 3 p.m. At one point, court filings said Bailey extended his arm out of the window while holding a gun. It happened as they drove past Green Tree Preparatory Academy while students were being released for the day. Prosecutors said the undercover officers reported the gun incident, so uniformed officers could conduct a traffic stop, and continued to follow the Honda. In the area of 91st and Fond du Lac, Parks "took apparent notice" of marked squads in the area. When a marked squad turned on its lights and sirens, Parks took off – sparking a chase. SIGN UP TODAY: Get daily headlines, breaking news emails from FOX6 News Court filings said Parks "immediately" drove the wrong way onto State Highway 145. Officers called off the pursuit due to the "immediate recklessness," and began to saturate the area in hopes of finding the Honda again somewhere else. The complaint states Parks made a U-turn on the highway and drove back to the area from which he'd fled, re-initiating the chase. The chase continued down Highway 145 at speeds of around 100 mph, per the complaint, and Parks eventually got away near 68th and Hampton. Undercover officers later found the Honda abandoned near 74th and Congress with suspected marijuana inside. They later confirmed it was stolen. Investigators noted a gold Chevrolet driving near the 74th and Congress scene that "appeared to be lost, or looking for directions," according to court filings. As the investigation continued, officers spotted that same Chevrolet around 5:25 p.m. The person who had been driving it near 74th and Congress was now a passenger, while Bailey was behind the wheel and Parks was in the back seat. Officers tried to stop the Chevrolet near 93rd and Silver Spring, but the driver took off – sparking a chase that reached speeds of over 90 mph. During the chase, prosecutors said Bailey drove into oncoming traffic during rush hour and onto the sidewalk. At one point, he drove with deflated tires as car parts came off of the vehicle. The complaint states the chase stretched approximately 3.8 miles until Bailey lost control, hit a curb and drove into the backyard retaining wall of a home near 80th and Denver. All three people got out and ran, but Bailey and Parks were soon taken into custody. According to court filings, officers searched the Chevrolet and found a semi-automatic handgun that matched the one Bailey is accused of pointing toward Green Tree Preparatory Academy, as well as a semi-automatic handgun that matched the one Parks had been seen with at the gas station. There was also "a large quantity" of marijuana and pills in the car. The marijuana found between both the Honda and the Chevrolet totaled more than 470 grams, prosecutors said, and 21 pills tested positive for oxycodone hydrocholoride – a Schedule II controlled substance. The complaint said the volume of marijuana, as well as scales, multiple cellphones and guns, was "consistent" with "the sale/distribution of THC." While on his way to a hospital for medical clearance, court filings said Parks said he was going to "spit on" an officer and threatened to fight and "smoke" the officer, saying, "I'm going to find you." Investigators also found universal key fobs, which prosecutors said are often used with "key programmers." The programmers and fobs have "recently become a common tool" in motor vehicle thefts, per the complaint.

Officers responded to a shooting incident in Auburn, Ala., at around 5:39 p.m. local time on Sunday, June 8, when they found Traci McDuffie, 52, and her son Brandon, 25, dead inside a home, the Mobile Police Department (MPD) said in a news release. 'The investigation revealed Brandon McDuffie fatally shot his mother, Traci McDuffie, and that's when Traci's other son discovered what occurred,' police said in the release, then claiming that Brandon 'shot towards the other son, causing the other son to defend himself by shooting Brandon." Brandon and Traci got into an argument, which resulted in the first round of gunfire, NBC 15 reported, citing authorities. MPD Public Information Officer Blake Brown told the outlet, "Once the initial shooting did take place, there was some sort of communication to let the other son know." The MPD said in its news release, "The death of Brandon McDuffie will be presented to a grand jury," while Traci's "death has been abated by" her son's. The second son was identified in a post on Facebook from the First Baptist Church of Baltimore Street, Inc. as 32-year-old Brent McDuffie, Traci's eldest child. It is not immediately clear if Brent was arrested or currently faces any charges. "Please continue to lift Brother Brent McDuffie and the family up in prayer during their time of bereavement,' the church wrote in its social media post. The First Baptist Church of Baltimore Street, Inc. added that it plans to hold a celebration of life service for the family members on Saturday, June 21. Traci was described on Facebook by a family friend as 'an exceptionally kind individual who will truly be missed.' The woman's sister said following her death, 'There is nothing bad that can be said about her. She was a hard worker and loved her live music," per a Facebook post from WALA Fox 10 reporter Ariel Mallory. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?
