LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The LA County District Attorney’s
office announced that a 22-year-old Los Angeles man was
sentenced Thursday to nine years in state prison for the fatal
hit-and-run death of a bicyclist earlier this year in Highland
Park.
Alexis Virto pleaded no contest last month to one count of gross
vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. He was sentenced by
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Scott Gordon.
On June 26 at about 3 a.m., Virto was driving northbound on
Figueroa Street near Pasadena Avenue when he struck 33-year-old
cyclist Jose Luna.
Virto was driving at a high rate of speed and the impact of the
crash severed one of the victim’s legs. The DA also said Virto
continued to drive with Luna on his hood for about 200 more
yards and then reportedly dragged him for another 300 feet.
Virto abandoned his car and was later arrested at his home —
about six blocks from the accident scene.
At time of his arrest, LAPD Detective Johnny Meneses said that
nearly six hours after the crash, Virto was still highly
intoxicated and still had glass and debris from the windshield
in his hair.
