Teonna Covington was 17 and from Milwaukee when she died on April 17, 2022, an Easter Sunday. She was a new mother; her infant son survives. On the night of her death she was a passenger in a vehicle that collided with an SUV near 29th and Courtland. After the crash the vehicle’s driver, identified as 26-year-old Deandre Johnson, began shooting and Teonna sustained fatal injuries. The location near 29th and Courtland has become a site of memorial for her.

Johnson, who was already out on bond on a separate felony firearm possession charge at the time, led police on a chase after the shooting and was arrested. He was charged in connection with Teonna’s death and a court commissioner set bond at $200,000, calling him an incredible bail risk because of a history of violent offenses. Teonna’s mother, Toni Ivy, has spoken publicly about her grief and about raising Teonna’s son.

If anyone knew Teonna, her movements that night, or has information about the shooting near 29th and Courtland, please come forward.
