Pursuit
Police attempted to stop Curtis Pugh, 22, of Matteson, for a traffic violation.

Pugh was charged with murder, leaving the scene of a deadly accident, aggravated fleeing along with misdemeanor counts of fleeing police and speeding 26-34 miles-per-hour over the limit.
This record exists so that Julia Callaway, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
