A Hialeah teen has pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide, and other charges, in connection to a crash last April in which three women were killed.
Maykoll Santiesteban, who was charged as an adult, was 15 years old when he took his parents’ car for a joy ride. According to police, he was going 83 miles an hour in a 30-mile-per hour zone at the time of the crash in the 400 block of SE 5 Street in Hialeah.
Santiesteban, who did not have a driver’s license, is facing six charges.
Under state law, he was facing 65 years in state prison. On Friday, the judge said he would have to serve a minimum of 28 years in state prison. His attorneys are now seeking less time in a juvenile lock up.
Santiesteban, who is now 16, will be sentenced on March 26.
