Girl, 13, Accused Of Killing Bicyclist While Drag Racing In Stolen Car

[Dakota Valkyrie]

A 13-year-old girl drag racing a stolen car against teens in a second stolen vehicle this month struck a man bicycling to work, killing him, before fleeing the scene, according to criminal charges filed in the case.

The girl faces four felony counts related to the death of Ronald R. Forbes: first-degree reckless homicide; hit and run resulting in death; and operating and attempting to operate a vehicle without the owner's consent.

She is charged as an adult in the case but could seek a waiver of her case to Children's Court.

The driver and another girl were speeding eastbound on Hampton Ave. in a stolen black Dodge Neon when it struck Forbes near Fond du Lac Ave. at about 6:35 a.m. on Aug. 6. Forbes, 57, rode his bike to work every day at Pieper Electric, 5070 N. 35th St., where he was a supervisor.

Witnesses saw the Neon and a tan Dodge minivan turn onto N. 64th St. after the crash. Two girls jumped out of the Neon and into the minivan with two young males and sped away.

Police later took fingerprints from both abandoned stolen vehicles and the next day found the 13-year-old with some other girls with yet another stolen car.

The night before Forbes was hit, the girl told police, she and several other juveniles had been out all night stealing cars. She estimated she was going about 80 mph on Hampton when she heard a loud bump. She claimed she did not see Forbes.

But another girl in the car told police she warned the 13-year-old driver about "the dude on the bike" and to slow down but that she ignored her, got a "mad" look on her face and appeared to steer toward the victim intentionally.

One of the boys involved in the night of car thefts and joy riding told police that after the crash the girl seemed to be laughing about having struck the bicyclist and said he shouldn't have been in the street.

The 13-year-old appeared in Children's Court on Monday, where her attorney raised the question of her competency, and she was ordered to undergo a psychological examination. She is being held in secure detention.

First of all, who "drag races" a Dodge Neon or a minivan for that matter? Second, this girl is clearly a sociopath and needs to be put someplace where she can't hurt anybody. Out all night stealing cars at age 13? Laughing about hitting someone with a car? Certainly a bleak future ahead of her. I weep for my son's and daughters' generations if this is where we are headed. No mention of the girl's parents or guardians, I noticed. I wonder where they are in all of this and how a 13 year old girl is allowed to be out all night. I tried that shit once at 13 and got my ass handed to me, physically, by BOTH parents who I know were acting more out of fear than anger. Regardless, I didn't do that again until I moved out at 19...

Just a guess but I am going to bet she comes from a single parent home. My mother was a single parent who worked and went to college to try and better her life. In the eyes of most people she was doing what was right. The problem being was I was left unsupervised most of my childhood. I could stay out all night and nobody would be around to notice. I was involved in all kinds of bad stuff and my mother had no clue. As long as I was home in one piece for the few hours a day she was there to sleep I was good. Only time I ever got in trouble was if I didn't clean before she got home. Sad to say my mom had little to do with raising me she left that to the streets. ( oh and yeah I was a teen mom and a high school drop out.)

My mom loved me. She provided for me. She never abused me. But in the end I needed my mom to watch over me too. Unfortunately she was always to busy proving for me.

Milwaukee, WI – Police have arrested a 13-year-old girl who they say was behind the wheel of the stolen car that struck and killed a bicyclist earlier this month. If you are to believe some of the witness statements, this girl joins the gang of the more callous, apathetic juveniles we have featured on this site in the past.
The girl had been out with friends stealing cars throughout the night when, at around 6:35 a.m, she and another girl where in a stolen Dodge Neon drag racing with two males in a stolen Chrysler minivan. The girl ended up hitting and killing 57-year-old Ronald Forbes, who had been riding his bicycle to work as he did every day.
Witnesses say that after the crash, the two girls got of the Neon and jumped into the minivan with the two boys before fleeing the scene. Using fingerprints obtained from the Neon and the minivan later found abandoned, they were able to track down the 13-year-old driver who hit Forbes. She was with other girls in yet another stolen car.
She told police that she and friends had been out stealing cars the night she struck Forbes, and that she may have been doing around 80 mph when she hit him.…

The mother of a teenage girl accused in the fatal hit-and-run crash that killed 57-year-old Ronald Forbes publicly apologized to the Forbes’ family Thursday evening, August 23rd before a vigil was held for Forbes.

Forbes died Monday, August 6th while riding to work on his bicycle near 65th and Hampton in Milwaukee. 13-year-old Illahje Davis is charged with four felonies as an adult. Davis could seek a waiver to be tried as a juvenile.

The girl’s mother, Delonda Davis apologized to Forbes’ family Thursday.

“It’s not a day goes by when I don’t think about how much you hurt. I cannot even imagine. I’m so sorry. If there was anything I could do, I promise you I would do it. I pray for you every day. I pray for comfort and peace. I don’t know what to do. I wish I did,” Davis said.

Diana Cole is Forbes’ sister. She was at Thursday evening’s apology and vigil for her father.

“She seems to be sincere, and I’m sure she’s hurting too. We all are. It’s just wrong. There’s nothing any of us can do to bring him back,” Cole said.

13-year-old Illahje Davis remains in custody at the juvenile justice facility facing adult charges — which is what Forbes’ family has said they want to see. Davis’ family describes her as having problems in her life, and say they’d like to see her tried in juvenile court.

There was something you could have done which was 1) not stealing a fucking car. 2) Not running over an innocent man.

She isn't the least remorseful I can assure you. She is scared she was caught.
