A mother of two young children is dead and one of the Quad-Cities' most well-known criminals is charged with vehicular homicide after a high-speed police pursuit through a residential area of Davenport ended in a crash.

Sharnice Johnson, 21, died Friday at the scene of the 7:20 a.m. crash at the corner of 1st Street and Linwood Avenue after the car she was a passenger in smashed into a tree.

Pachino Hill, 30, is charged with vehicular homicide, felony eluding and driving while barred. He was the driver of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, police said, that reached speeds of 80 mph during the seven-block pursuit that ended on a street that was ice-packed and rutted.

Travis Rush, 18, of Davenport, who was wanted in connection with a stabbing earlier this week as well as federal weapons charges, was a back-seat passenger.

All three were suspects in a home invasion early Friday in the 7200 block of Hillandale Road, officials said.

They were trapped inside the Jeep after the crash. Rush was airlifted to University Hospitals in Iowa City for treatment of a broken leg and possible internal injuries. Hill is listed in fair condition at Genesis Medical Center, East Rusholme Street, Davenport, where he is being treated for internal injuries, officials said.

According to police:

The home invasion was reported at 4:27 a.m. At least two men forced their way into an apartment, which prompted the resident to jump out a window to escape. The suspects fled in a light-colored Jeep Cherokee, driven by a female.

Later, as police were checking an address that Rush was known to frequent, they saw him and two others get into a light-colored Jeep Cherokee and drive away. That information was broadcast to patrol units.

A short time passed, when officers doing surveillance at 3rd and Division streets saw the Jeep Cherokee. When the squad car pulled out to follow, the driver of the Jeep accelerated in an attempt to flee.

They drove south on Division and west on 1st Street. Five blocks down the icy 1st Street, the Jeep crashed into a tree. The speed limit in the area is 25 mph, officials said. The police squad car was about a block behind the Jeep when it crashed.

The homicide charge carries the potential of up to 10 years in prison. The felony eluding charge has the potential of a five-year prison sentence.

More charges are possible, officials said. The vehicular homicide charge against Hill could be increased if authorities determine he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, Scott County Attorney Mike Walton said. An increase could mean a sentence of up to 25 years in prison.

The pursuit will be reviewed, said Police Chief Frank Donchez. However, it appears that all policies were followed. Rush was on the list of "pursuable" people because he was accused of a forcible felony. Home invasion suspects also qualify as pursuable, he said.

The officer involved will not be placed on leave. Donchez declined to identify the officer.
