A fifteen-year-old boy was killed by a Nicaraguan illegal who was driving drunk in Louisiana on Thursday night.

The Livingston Parish Sheriff’s Office shared that the boy was riding his bicycle when Juan Alfredo Chavarria Lezama, 31, allegedly ran him over before fleeing the scene.

The boy was airlifted to an area hospital but died from the injuries.

Ultimately, the driver was identified as Lezama and apprehended a short time later.

Sheriff Jason Ard shared, “The 15-year-old male was airlifted to a local hospital where he would later succumb to his injuries.”

“Impairment (on the part of the driver) was observed at the scene.”

“Through the investigation, it was determined that the driver was over two times the legal Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit. The driver of the vehicle is now in the Livingston Parish Detention Center.”

Sheriff Ard later confirmed that Lezama is an illegal from Nicaragua.

“He’s an undocumented male, a Hispanic male, here illegally from what we’re gathering. He does have an ICE detainer at the time. He’s also charged with multiple charges like the vehicular homicide, reckless operation, DWI first offense,” Ard explained.
