Illegal Immigrant In Court For Death Of TSU Student

June 21, 2007 02:18 PM PDT


Nashville, Tenn. - The illegal immigrant accused of hitting and killing a young college student was in court Thursday afternoon to face charges.

Tennessee State University student Joycelyn Gardiner, 22, died early Saturday morning when police said Victor Benitez broadsided her car at the intersection of Old Hickory Bloulevard and Nolensville Road.

Investigators claim Benitez was drunk and never even touched the brakes of his Ford Expedition before hitting Gardiner's car.

Gardiner died a short time later at the hospital.

Police said Benitez was driving without a license and doesn't even have the paper work to be in the United States.

Benitez has been in trouble before. In February 2006, Benitez was convicted of car burglary. Then in November 2006 he spent seven days in jail for public intoxication and resisting arrest. And now, the Mexican native faces a vehicular homicide charge.
