Join us for a moving and powerful conversation with Sam Hamer, as she reflects on the aftermath of the tragic crash that claimed the life of her longtime partner, Rashad Nelson, and two friends.
The incident occurred when a Monona police officer initiated a pursuit of a vehicle due what they deemed, a suspicious vehicle, for an abrupt lane change. In an attempt to stop the car and conduct a data check, the officer's actions led to a high-speed chase. One of the officers laid spike strips, and the vehicle crashed into a tree, killing Rashad and the other two individuals inside.
Despite the tragic outcome, the Dane County District Attorney’s Office concluded that no criminal charges would be filed against the officer, citing that the officer’s attempt to close in on the vehicle created a situation in which the driver fled at high speed.
In this intimate conversation, Sam will share her personal journey following this devastating loss, discuss the emotional and mental toll the incident has taken on her, and speak to the broader implications of police pursuit policies. The event will provide insight into the lasting impact of such tragedies and the emotional resilience required to move forward.
This conversation offers an opportunity to reflect on the complex circumstances surrounding this case, and Sam’s experience of coping with the loss of Rashad while navigating the aftermath of this tragic event.We invite you to join us for this emotional and thought-provoking discussion.
