Description

Drunk driver Stephanie Sykes sped through a Milwaukee street at around 80 mph in September 2024, hitting sisters Talise and De-Lisha Dunmore, killing one instantly and severely injuring the other before fleeing the scene. Sykes, who had multiple prior DUIs, was arrested soon after, admitted she had blacked out from heavy drinking, and ultimately pled guilty to four felony charges, receiving a 28-year prison sentence. Tragically, weeks after Sykes’ conviction, surviving sister De-Lisha was shot and killed in an unrelated incident, leaving the Dunmore family devastated once again.
