Fatal hit-and-run

The backstory:

David Hall, 49, was convicted earlier this month by a jury of hit-and-run and bail jumping, in the July 2024 death of Carla Tyson. He was in court Thursday, where a judge sentenced him to 13 years in prison.

 My sister was born with cerebral palsy,  said Tyson's brother, Pierre Tyson.  She's been able to overcome so many things in life.

Tyson said despite his sister being dealt a bad hand in life, and struggles with substance abuse, she was a survivor.

 I thought she was invincible. It really devastated me that - and it still does to this day - that she's gone,  said Pierre Tyson.  Because she survived so much, to this point.

On July 27, 2024, Carla Tyson was crossing North Avenue, between 14th and 15th Streets, when she was hit by a pickup truck driven by David Hall, severing Tyson's spinal cord. Hall kept on driving. Seconds later, a Milwaukee police squad - responding to an unrelated call - ran Tyson over.

 I'm hoping that you take the time to reflect on the part you played in this,  said Pierre Tyson to Hall at his sentencing Thursday.  Your actions are what set this chain of events in motion. 

Earlier that month, Hall had his bond reduced in a felony drug trafficking and gun case, and Hall posted $5,000 cash to get out of jail. In the days after Tyson's death, Hall made a scheduled court appearance in that open case. He was arrested in the hit-and-run case days later.
