CHULA VISTA – A 33-year-old man admitted in Superior Court yesterday that he ran down a Chula Vista woman who was out for her morning walk.
Daniel Antonio Orantes-Castro pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter in the Nov. 18 death of Akiko Koehler, 60. Judge Wesley R. Mason scheduled a sentencing hearing for March 23.
Prosecutor Terri Wyatt said no promises were made to Orantes-Castro in exchange for his guilty plea. She said the maximum penalty is 10 years in prison.
Castro was driving a Ford F-150 pickup in a westbound lane of J Street around 8:30 a.m. when he crossed into the eastbound lane at Twin Oaks Avenue, drove up onto the sidewalk and struck Koehler before crashing into a fence, police said.
Koehler was thrown about 10 feet onto the front lawn of a nearby home, police said.
"It was her practice to walk every morning," Wyatt said. "She used to like to go to Henry's Market."
A witness who lived across the street and was familiar with Koehler's routine reported seeing a black truck cross the road, Wyatt said. When the truck passed from her range of vision, the witness heard the truck bump over the curb, Wyatt said.
The witness ran out her front door to look for Koehler, who was on the ground, Wyatt said.
Neighbors and passers-by detained Orantes-Castro and a passenger when they tried to walk away, police said.
The prosecutor said blood tests showed that Castro was under the influence of methamphetamine.
Castro, from Mexico, was in the United States illegally at the time of the crash, Wyatt said. He had been deported last year and banned from re-entering the United States for five years but returned anyway, Wyatt said.
Castro is being held in jail without bail.
just doing the killing Americans don't want to do
We need to appreciate the diversity of folks bringing their cultures
(and skills) here for us to enjoy. Herding goats = driving a truck.
Wave the stick like this, they go to the right.
Wave it at 'em like that, they go left.
All same same.
High on meth and already deported once, where did this guy get a license? The charge of driving without one isnt mentioned. What about insurance? Illegals driving uninsured vehicles is a big problem here in North County. The cost in higher insurance premiums for people like me, court costs, etc cost millions every year. Who pays it? Vincente and his corrupt government? Nope, you and I..

....where did this guy get a license?
If he had a license, it may have been bogus. Fake document business is doing well....
Why is the govt. causing this division? (/naivity)
We have got to find a way to keep these people from being deported and returning, deported and returning, let out of jail and escaping deportation..disappearing while awaiting deportation hearings...
HOW do we round up millions, jail millions, deport millions ..HOW did we let this get so far out of hand?..It has been going on for decades!
Look to the businesses and private employers who hire them..and not enough border control.
There also seems to be a don't ask ,don't tell policy in some sectors of our schools or social services, law enforcement.
I wish I were wise enough to know HOW to solve this.
Bump!
{Just performing the vehicular homicides that average Americans won't do...}
SHAZZAM. There's the zinger of the day.
Don't know which is needed the wsidom of Soloman or the Accuracy of Davy Crockett -- maybe both.
Don't worry about the people illegals kill. What's important is that we can save 2 cents on our groceries due to cheap farm workers.
Don't even get me started JR will bannish me for sure.
Why is the govt. causing this division? (/naivity)
This question is being asked over and over again. I wish I knew!
It's really simple. Power for themselves. The more lawless and divided the country is, the more laws they write and power they acquire. We really don't have a firm legal foundation, anymore, they're making things up as they go along.
You're right about that. This doesn't bode well for the future.
Not to me.
Yes, where oh where could those possums be hiding?
So what kind of jail time is this bum going to get? Vehicular manslaughter, driving without a license, no insurance(obviously no registration), driving under the influence of methamphetamine, oh yeah he was previously booted from the US and returned. Another felony!
I'm getting sick of this crap.
sweet!
