U.S. Marshals are actively searching for Deshawn Lawrence, a 33‑year‑old man from Milwaukee, after he led police on a high‑speed chase that ended in a crash last November. The marshal’s office warned that the public remains at risk while Lawrence is still in the community.

Details of the pursuit

Greenfield police officers initially stopped Lawrence near the intersection of 27th and Layton. After a brief pause, he accelerated and reached speeds reported to be as high as 115 miles per hour, prompting a multi‑agency pursuit that continued onto the highway and later near his home on Milwaukee’s south side.

According to the marshal’s statement, Lawrence lost control of his vehicle and collided with a tree. He fled the crash scene before officers could secure him.

Evidence linking Lawrence to the incident

Investigators recovered a large quantity of marijuana from the vehicle. DNA recovered from the airbag and data from Lawrence’s cellphone helped confirm his involvement and resulted in formal charges.

The marshal emphasized that Lawrence’s pattern of non‑compliance with law enforcement is “a repeated concern,” noting his prior arrest connected to a 2015 homicide.

Physical description and appeal for tips

Lawrence is described as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing about 140 pounds, with tattoos on his arms and chest. He is believed to still be in the Milwaukee area.

Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to call the U.S. Marshals tip line at 414‑297‑3707. Callers will remain anonymous.

Marshal’s call for responsibility

“We would hope that Mr. Lawrence would just stand up, be a man and take responsibility for his actions,” the marshal said, underscoring the need for community cooperation to bring the suspect to justice.
