Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Lydia Nini Carmona-Cartagena, 23, was sentenced to 26 years in prison and 14 years of extended supervision for 1st-degree reckless homicide for the December 9, 2021 homicide of Chad Sean Alexander Wilson, 41, at the 4800 block of N. 60 Street, according to the Milwaukee police criminal complaint.  Carmona-Cartagena pleaded guilty in May 2022 under a plea agreement and her previous charge of 1st-degree intentional homicide was reduced to 1st-degree reckless homicide.

According to the criminal, Wilson was stabbed multiple times in the stomach and legs before Carmona-Cartagena used his vehicle (2011 Cadillac SUV) to run over him multiple times until he died.

Police say that a nearby church outdoor surveillance camera captured the deadly incident. A witness also stated that the suspect ran over Wilson's neck and head with the vehicle.

Carmona-Cartagena told police that she had met Wilson through Facebook a couple of weeks before they actually met. During the day, both Wilson and Carmona-Cartagena had some drinks and did drugs to the point where Wilson and the suspect got into a dispute in the vehicle. Wilson stopped the vehicle and told her to get out of the vehicle near W. Stark Street. 

Carmona-Cartagena got out with a bundle of clothes and decided to take out a knife and stab Wilson in the stomach and legs. She then went into Wilson's vehicle and fatally ran him over multiple times while he was on the ground injured with stab wounds. 

She left the scene and later returned to check, if Wilson was dead. A witness later identified her as the suspect who repeatedly ran over Wilson.

Police say that Carmona-Cartagena had a choice to leave, but she decided to run over Wilson because she suspected that he was a gang member and would later retaliate against her, so she killed him.
