Woman arrested after allegedly killing 66-year-old and his dog in hit-and-run

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV/Gray News) - Over one year after a fatal hit-and-run, a 22-year-old woman is behind bars after she allegedly ran over a man and his dog.

In February 2023, Tiambra Walker struck 66-year-old Stephen Fleck while he was walking his dog, Gille Dubh, according to WMTV. Authorities said they both were in the road nearly 10 minutes before being found.

The investigation came to an end when a woman reported her purse stolen around 12:50 p.m., on Saturday.

WMTV reported that police eventually found the suspect in a vehicle with three people inside.

Walker allegedly tried to run from officers but was caught and brought to the Peoria County Jail, where she’s being held. She was charged with assaulting an officer, escape, theft and resisting.

Police said Walker will be extradited due to the more severe nature of her charges.

At the time of the fatal hit-and-run, Walker was out on bail with a condition that she could not drive.
