LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The man accused of a DUI crash that left a 5-year-old boy dead in 2023 has accepted a plea deal to plead guilty, according to court documents.
Guillermo Chochi-Senobla, 47, was arrested in October 2023 after being accused of driving drunk and running over a child during student drop-off at the Losee campus of Somerset Academy. At the time, he also had an active DUI warrant out of Texas.
According to police documents, Chochi-Senobla was driving his work van by the school drop-off area after dropping his child at school and went into the oncoming traffic lane to pass two stopped vehicles dropping off children.
