Prosecutors say 23-year-old Marco Gomez is a valet driver who stole a downtown hotel guest's car, and then drove drunk. Gomez is accused of running a red light and crashing into a Blue Hyundai at the intersection of 11th and Wisconsin. The 29-year-old driver of that vehicle struck died.
After the crash, the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office identified the 29-year-old killed as Michael Starks.
TMJ4's Ryan Jenkins learned that Starks went by the name R'eay Reign. She transitioned and was a proud member of the LGBTQ community. R'eay is described by friends and family as an entrepreneur, fabulous, comical, the life of the party and a glamorous fashionista. R'eay also loved to travel, cook, and dance. She was also savvy on social media.

Heartbreaking 💔 I pray Justice will be served to the fullest extent

I’ve learned a long time ago , 40 years ago when my sister was badly injured when a car ran a red light and T Boned her to always pay attention when going through intersections with a Green light and be alert. RIP to the Innocent Victim, Unfortunately the idiot who caused it gets to live and most likely will out of jail in 10 years. I wish people would not call this a car accident, Accidents are not avoidable , this was totally avoidable.

Traffic lights are for decoration. Always slow down and check both sides of the interraction. Have a car camera installed.
