Police say Walter “Wally” Williams was riding a bicycle near 17th and Vliet Friday evening, shortly after 5:30 pm, when he was hit by a speeding pickup truck. The truck didn’t stop.
Milwaukee police arrested a 55-year-old man just hours after Williams died, aided in large part by the department’s Flock camera system, according to court filings. FOX6 is not naming the man as he has not been charged with a crime related to the hit-and-run.
Court filings say a 911 caller, who said they were a medical student, was with Williams performing CPR until medical crews arrived. Williams died at the scene.
