The Milwaukee Police Department says the car that officers pursued Wednesday night before a fiery crash matched the vehicle description in a previous shooting.

Shortly after 7:15 p.m. Wednesday, officers saw a car driving recklessly and wanted for a felony. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle near North 9th Street and Hampton Avenue, but the driver refused, and a pursuit ensued, according to MPD. It ended when the car crashed into a tree. The car became engulfed in flames. The 17-year-old driver and sole occupant of the car died at the scene.

Antonio Hullum told TMJ4 that he had just left a gas station in the area when he saw the chase and crash.
