Justice for Ondrea
From Ruby Gonzales:
Two drivers pleaded guilty Friday to killing a passenger when they raced down a Rowland Heights street while drunk on March 2, 2008. Ondrea Alvarez, 20, of Bellflower, was killed in the crash. She was on her first date with one of the drivers, Elias Munoz, 21, of La Mirada.
Jury selection was supposed to start Friday in the case at Pomona Superior Court when Munoz and Brian Galvez, 24, of Rowland Heights, pleaded guilty to gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.
The two men are expected to get 10 years in state prison at their Dec. 18 sentencing, according to Shiara Davila-Morales, spokeswoman for the District Attorney's Office.
