A man arrested in a February drunk driving collision that killed the dean of students at Tulare Western High School has been charged with second-degree murder.
Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward announced Tuesday that Izeah Almaguer, 23, faces life in prison if he is convicted.
Almaguer faces multiple charges, including driving with a suspended license.
Carrasco, a Woodlake resident, later died at a hospital.
Previous DUI Conviction
A blood sample taken from Almaguer indicated that his blood-alcohol count was .13%, well above the legal limit for driving of .08.
Last month, Almaguer pleaded to a DUI that happened in December of 2018. Almaguer received three years’ probation, and as part of his sentence, he was told that if he killed someone while driving drunk or high, he could be charged with murder.
