RACINE — A 36-year-old Racine man is facing one count of first-degree reckless homicide in connection to the April 19 police pursuit that ended in the death a 72-year-old man.

Adonis Martin also was charged with one count of vehicle operator flee/elude officer resulting in the death of another, one count of vehicle operator flee/elude officer causing damage to property, one count of hit and run of an attended vehicle, and one count of tampering with a global positioning system tracking device.

Each count reflects that Martin was charged as a repeat offender, following a 2020 Racine County case in which he was convicted of aggravated battery intending bodily harm.

Online court records show Martin’s cash bond was set at $1,000,000 during a May 6 court hearing. Martin is next scheduled to appear in court May 14.

According to a criminal complaint, Racine Police Department officers attempted to stop a Ford Taurus near 11th Street and Pearl Street.

The Taurus reportedly accelerated away from police and crashed into another vehicle, then continued at speeds of 50-60 mph.

Additional officers joined the pursuit westbound on Victory Avenue.

At the intersection of Victory and Lathrop avenues, the Taurus allegedly ran a stop sign and collided with a black 2007 Honda Ridgeline driven by Daniel Brown, according to previous Journal Times reporting.

The criminal complaint states that Brown was found unconscious and not breathing. He was flow to a hospital, but on April 20 died as a result of his injuries.

According to the complaint, there was an active warrant for Martin that was issued after he reportedly cut off a Department of Corrections GPS bracelet on April 7.
