A 22-year-old New York man plead guilty to killing a Jersey City man in May of 2013.
Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Gene Rubino said Luis E. Garcia, 22, pleaded guilty Friday to vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident and aggravated assault by auto.
Garcia jumped the curb striking 24-year-old Ron Hill II, with his vehicle on May 11, 2013 as Hill walked on Paterson Plank Road near Congress Street at 3:30 a.m., officials said. Despite Garcia's attempt to flee the accident, he was arrested by Hoboken after he struck several other cars.
Garcia was found to have a blood alcohol level of .13, according to officials.
Hill was pronounced dead at the scene.
Hudson County Superior Court Judge Joseph Isabella will sentence Garcia June 26, 2015,
