Vigil Held For 6-Year-Old Killed By Car

By Associated Press

WEST ALLIS - Authorities say a man suspected of driving a vehicle that hit and killed a 6-year-old girl this week had been deported in February. The West Allis Police Department also says 29-year-old Jose A. Rodriguez's license had been revoked. Authorities say Monday's accident that killed Mackenzie Maddox of West Allis is still being investigated. Her mother -- 25-year-old Andrea Maddox -- was injured but not seriously. They say a check of FBI records shows the Kenosha man was deported in February to Mexico. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is investigating and has placed a hold on the man. He's in the custody of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. Prosecutors are charging him with misdemeanor driving with a revoked license, causing death. He could also face deportation back to Mexico.
