The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s office has released the identities of the two people killed following a crash Friday with a man wanted in a Minot homicide investigation.

The victims are 20-year-old Maria Buhler, of Sheboygan Falls, Wis., and 23-year-old Joseph Badora, of Greenfield, Wis., according to Karen Domagalski, the operations manager for the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Domagalski said that Badora was headed southbound around 9:30 a.m. Friday when an eastbound driver disregarded a red light and struck him.

Buhler, the passenger in his vehicle, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Badora was rushed to a local hospital, and succumbed to his injuries shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday.

Domagalski says both Badora and Buhler were wearing seat belts.

She says next of kin has been notified.

The other driver was later identified as 27-year-old Donald Lee Cooper, Jr., who was being pursued by U.S. Marshals.

Cooper faces a series of charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, in the January death of 29-year-old Dominick Stephens in Minot.

He remains in custody in the Milwaukee County Jail. It’s unclear at this time when he will be extradited to North Dakota.
