Charges filed against 19-year-old repeat offender in fatal crash involving gun threat

A 19-year-old individual with a history of offenses is now up against multiple serious charges after a police pursuit that tragically ended in a fatal accident on Tuesday evening. Trevon L. Loston, who hails from Milwaukee, was riding in a stolen SUV that attempted to evade authorities, resulting in a collision with another vehicle that claimed the lives of three individuals. While Loston was initially a passenger, evidence suggests he may have had a more significant role in the sequence of events. A fellow passenger from the stolen vehicle informed law enforcement that Loston had been behind the wheel but switched with a female driver just moments before the police pursuit commenced. The witness also detailed that Loston possessed a black Taurus 9mm handgun equipped with a laser and extended magazine, directing the driver at gunpoint to keep moving and avoid stopping. Following the crash, police discovered Loston unconscious inside the vehicle, still holding the gun in his right hand, with the key fob for the stolen SUV discovered in his pants pocket. Through investigations, authorities determined that the SUV had been stolen in Elkhart, Indiana on September 11. Loston allegedly claimed to officials that he only picked up the other passengers to purchase alcohol and later switched drivers when he grew tired, supposedly offering directions to the female driver during the incident. Loston now faces several charges, including illegal possession of a firearm, violation of bail conditions, and unauthorized operation of a vehicle.
