17-year-old dies in car fire after fleeing Milwaukee police, crashing into tree, police say
A Milwaukee police pursuit ended Aug. 6 in the fleeing vehicle, being driven by a 17-year-old, crashing into a tree and becoming engulfed in flames, rendering the teenage driver dead, according to a statement from the department. The car fire on the city's north side, near North 19th Street and West Hampton Avenue, also resulted in two Milwaukee police officers being transported to an area hospital, according to the Milwaukee Fire Department, who put out the blaze. The Milwaukee Police Department didn't acknowledge injuries to its officers in a late Wednesday night statement. The department said officers observed a vehicle connected to a felony driving recklessly. They attempted to make a traffic stop but the driver refused and fled, police said. A very short pursuit ended in the 1900 block of West Hampton. The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle. Videos shared to social media showed a white sedan engulfed in flames near a building as officers unsucessfully attempt to rescue the driver. Last week, a Milwaukee police pursuit ended deadly as well. A 28-year-old western African man was killed when a 22-year-old Milwaukee woman fled police before crashing into the man at a high-speed as he drove for a rideshare company on Brady Street, according to prosecutors. This story was updated to add new information.

Wisconsin inmate sentenced to 5 years for role in guard's death
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — An 18-year-old inmate who pleaded guilty to charges related to the death of a guard at a Wisconsin juvenile prison was sentenced Wednesday to five years in prison. Rian Nyblom pleaded guilty in April to two counts of being a party to the crime of battery by a prisoner. As part of a plea deal, the original charge of felony murder with special circumstances was reduced. An additional charge of battery by a prisoner was dismissed. Cory Proulx, 49, was a guard at the Lincoln Hills-Copper Lakes juvenile prison when he was punched multiple times by a 16-year-old inmate, fell and hit his head on the pavement in June 2024. He died a day later. According to prosecutors, the 16-year-old inmate was upset at a female guard whom he felt was abusing her power. He threw a cup of what he thought was soap at her and repeatedly punched her. The inmate then ran into the courtyard and Proulx followed to stop him. The complaint said the 16-year-old then punched Proulx multiple times, causing him to fall to the ground and hit his head on the pavement. Nyblom told investigators that he knew the 16-year-old was upset with the female guard and wanted to splash her with conditioner and then start punching her, according to a criminal complaint. Nyblom said about 15 minutes before the fighting began he got extra soap and conditioner from guards and secretly gave it to the 16-year-old, the complaint alleged. Nyblom said that he didn't see the 16-year-old punch the female guard but he watched as the boy punched Proulx and Proulx hit his head, according to the complaint. Nyblom's attorney, Joseph L. Bauer, didn't immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment following the sentencing Wednesday. Nyblom was sentenced to five years in prison, minus 405 days already served, by Lincoln County Circuit Judge Galen Bayne-Allison. He was relocated from the juvenile prison to the Lincoln County Jail last year. Nyblom was sent to Lincoln Hills a month before Proulx was killed after being charged with criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct, both misdemeanors. He pleaded no contest to both charges in May and was found guilty. The other inmate, who is now 17-years-old, faces one count of first-degree reckless homicide and two counts of battery by prisoners. He pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect and a trial is set to begin in February. He has been charged as an adult but The Associated Press is not naming him because his attorneys could seek to move the case back into juvenile court, where proceedings are secret.
