Milwaukee fatal hit-and-run crash; man charged, warrant issued

A Milwaukee man is charged in a fatal hit-and-run crash that happened on the city’s north side in May, and court records show a warrant has been issued for his arrest.

In Court:

Daunte Stamps, 29, is charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle, knowingly operating a motor vehicle while revoked and hit-and-run resulting in death.

Court records show Stamps was charged with the same three felonies in May, but the case was dismissed without prejudice – allowing prosecutors to refile it at a later date – in July. Records did not state a reason for the dismissal.

At the time of the crash, Stamps’ driver’s license had been revoked. Court filings said notice of his revocation had been mailed in April 2024 to the same address he was living at when the crash happened.
