Four Killed in High-Speed Crash Involving Stolen Vehicle on Cleveland’s West Side
CLEVELAND, OH – A high-speed crash involving a stolen vehicle resulted in the deaths of four individuals early Wednesday morning on Cleveland’s West Side, according to law enforcement officials.
The accident occurred around 12:45 a.m. in the 2000 block of West 106th Street when a Hyundai Sonata—reported stolen on February 27 from Wichita Avenue—lost control and crashed into two trees.
The office of the Cuyahoga County medical examiner said Eddy Deandre Bonner, 18; Caurie Williams, 19; Tamera Davis, 14; and Kalise McGee, 14; died in the accident.
Bonner, Williams and Davis were from Cleveland.
All four individuals were pronounced dead at the scene.
Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Annie Todd stated that city cameras had captured the stolen Hyundai Sonata being driven through multiple areas of the city on Tuesday evening.
At the time of the crash, the driver was heading northbound on West 106th Street at an excessive speed when they lost control of the vehicle.
According to Cleveland EMS, the vehicle was completely destroyed upon impact, and three of the passengers were ejected from the car.
The driver, however, remained inside the wreckage.
Neighbors who heard the violent crash immediately called 911 upon discovering the wreckage and victims.
A resident provided surveillance footage to 19 News, which shows the vehicle traveling at dangerously high speeds just moments before the crash.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office is working to confirm the identities of the remaining victims and notify their families.
It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Deputy Sheriff Carl “Little Chief” Jensen, a deeply respected and dedicated member of the Little River County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputy Jensen was found deceased earlier this evening after he did not report for his scheduled shift.
Deputy Jensen was more than a colleague—he was a cherished brother in uniform, a trusted protector of the community, and a steadfast public servant whose presence will be sorely missed by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.
Carl’s journey into law enforcement was driven by a passion to protect those who could not protect themselves.
After completing college, he began his career with Adult Protective Services, investigating allegations of abuse and exploitation in state hospitals, group homes, and home health care settings.
It was during one such case—uncovering the truth behind a complex exploitation investigation—that Carl realized his calling. “I got bit by the law enforcement bug that day,” he once said. “I wanted to help protect and bring justice to those who need it.”
Throughout his career, Deputy Jensen demonstrated extraordinary empathy, integrity, and resilience. He often reflected on the emotional weight of his work, especially when responding to calls on what could be the most difficult days in people’s lives.
“Sometimes, people don’t realize that we’re there to help everyone involved,” he shared. “Even on what could be their worst day, I can do my best to make it better—or at least keep them calm.” His compassion and humanity set an example for us all.
Our deepest condolences and unwavering support go out to Deputy Jensen’s family during this incredibly painful time.
We ask the community to join us in keeping his loved ones and our department in your thoughts and prayers as we grieve this heartbreaking loss.
Deputy Carl Jensen’s legacy of service, kindness, and courage will never be forgotten.
We are grateful for his life, his dedication, and the profound impact he had on those he served and served with.
