MILWAUKEE — Court documents allege that the Milwaukee man charged in connection with a hit-and-run that killed a 25-year-old Milwaukee woman days before her birthday told police he previously had his license revoked due to a DUI.

Prosecutors say that after the crash, Shanton Jr. Lay, 34, turned himself in, allegedly approaching a Milwaukee police officer on Oct. 11, stating that he was wanted in connection to the crash.

According to a criminal complaint filed Oct. 14, Lay told police “I ******* killed somebody."

The victim was Keiairra Travis, whose family says she was celebrating her birthday weekend on Oct. 11 with her sisters at Prime Social, a bar near 76th Street and Good Hope Road, when the tragedy occurred.
